Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Dodger, 1 1/3oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #8491

Weighing in at 1 1/3 oz (40g), this trolling flasher reflects the classic design principles Luhr Jensen established in the USA. The 6" (15cm) body features a polished nickel finish on the back, while the front face is accented with a vibrant green patterned insert that provides high-contrast visibility at depth. Heavy-gauge metal construction and robust hardware, including stainless steel split rings and high-quality swivels at both ends, make it a reliable choice for big-water trolling setups. Identified by product code 8491, this Dodger is specifically engineered for trolling applications where it serves as a primary attractor ahead of a trailing lure. This specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining its original luster and the integrity of its green coloring. Luhr Jensen’s reputation for producing durable gear is evident in the precise stamping and smooth edges of this nickel-plated attractor.
