Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Shot 70, 1/16oz Frog fishing lure #1075

The frog pattern on this 1" (2.5 cm) plug features a striking contrast between the deep black back and the vibrant yellow scale pattern along its flanks. Weighing in at 1/16 oz (1.6 g), this diminutive Luhr Jensen Hot Shot 70 (Product Code 1075) is a precision tool for light-tackle enthusiasts. The molded plastic body is finished with small, distinctive pink/red eyes that provide a subtle target point. The underside is a clean yellow, transitioning smoothly from the patterned sides. It comes equipped with a single belly-mounted treble hook and a sturdy snap attached to the diving lip eyelet, ready for technical casting or back-trolling in flowing water. Originating from the USA, the Luhr Jensen brand built its reputation on specialized designs like this deep-diving lip configuration, which is integrated directly into the body's nose. The finish is exceptionally well-preserved, earning it a condition rating of 5/5.
