Texas Shad finish on this vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Lips Express gives it a classic look, featuring a dark grey back that transitions into a silver body with a vibrant red gill slash and orange throat accent. Carrying product code 18376, this 3/4 oz (21 g) crankbait measures 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) and is built for reaching extreme depths. The oversized clear diving lip is a hallmark of this model, designed to get the lure down to 13.7 ft (4.2 m) on a standard cast and as deep as 36 ft (11 m) when trolled. This USA-made specimen is in a well-preserved 4.5/5 condition, showing clean paint and intact yellow eyes. The original hardware features two belly-positioned treble hooks that show only the slightest darkening. The body profile is specifically shaped to accommodate the leverage provided by that massive diving plane, ensuring the lure stays grounded in the water column during deep-water retrieves.
