Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Shot 3, 3/16oz Silver fishing lure #6884

Stamped clearly on the long diving lip is the "HOT SHOT-M3" designation, identifying this classic Luhr Jensen plug as a staple for river and lake anglers. This 2 1/2" (6.5cm) USA-made specimen features a silver finish complemented by a subtle red spot near the head and painted eyes with a bright yellow ring. Weighing in at 3/16oz (5.5g), the lure is a floating model intended primarily for trolling applications, where it can reach depths down to 8.2ft (2.5m). The hardware includes a single belly-mounted treble hook attached by a swivel and a metal line tie loop secured directly to the bill. In a solid 4/5 condition, the silver paint shows some light surface marks and authentic signs of use that speak to its history without compromising its integrity. Its product code is 6884.
