Silver and blue finishes dominate the profile of this 1/2oz (14g) metal jig. Stamped with '1/2 C.H.' on its polished side, the Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring is a classic piece of USA-manufactured tackle. At a length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the lure is categorized under product code 4945 and maintains a stellar 5/5 condition rating, with its metallic sheen and paint remaining vibrant. The coloration features a bold blue back with black scalloped patterns along the upper edge, contrasting against a bright, textured silver belly. A prominent black and white eye is positioned near the head, providing a visual trigger for fish. The hardware setup includes a heavy-duty split ring connecting the lead body to a single large-gap hook. Built for high-density performance, the construction allows for efficient depth penetration when jigging. The factory finish on this specimen is exceptionally well-preserved, showcasing the quality control Luhr Jensen was known for in their production facilities.
