Gold plating covers the entire 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body of this solid metal jig, a staple design from Luhr Jensen's USA production history. This 3/4 oz (21 g) slab lure, identified by product code 16077, is a high-density casting tool designed to reach depth quickly. The finish remains bright and exceptionally well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. A distinctive visual feature is the recessed, gold-rimmed eye that adds a realistic focal point to the head section. The hardware includes sturdy split rings and a strong treble hook that shows slight darkening while remaining functionally sharp. The surface of the gold finish displays a subtle, cast texture characteristic of these heavy-duty lead-alloy lures, reflecting light across its slightly irregular planes.
