Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring , 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #9108

Nickel plating provides a classic, reflective flash on this 1/2 oz (14 g) metal jigging spoon. Stamped with the weight directly on the textured body, this Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring, product code 9108, measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length. Produced in the USA, the design incorporates a scale-like texture to maximize light reflection from the flat sides. The hardware setup includes a robust single hook paired with a small, teardrop-shaped metal tag on the split ring that bears the manufacturer's name. The reflective nickel surface is in excellent condition, rated 5/5. A recessed eye detail near the line tie adds a touch of realism to the metallic profile.
