Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Hook Harness, 3/16oz Nickel spinning lure #2811

Nickel plating covers the bead-chain assembly of this vintage rigging component from Luhr Jensen. Hailing from Hood River, Oregon, this USA-made hardware is specifically designed for use with the J-Plug series. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), the harness utilizes a bead-chain design that slides through the lure body. This technical setup is intended to isolate the hook once a fish is pinned, preventing the buoyant plug from being used as leverage to throw the hook. Cataloged under product code 2811, this specimen remains unused in its original vintage carded packaging. Detailed instructions on the reverse side explain the proper installation through the bottom of the lure's channel for trolling applications.
