Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Shot 70, 1/16oz Green fishing lure #8131

Weighing in at a mere 1/16 oz (1.6 g), this diminutive plug represents a classic piece of Luhr Jensen tackle history from the USA. Measuring 1" (2.5 cm) in length, the lure features a vibrant green upper body that transitions into a bright yellow belly, punctuated by dark circular spots on the flanks. The distinctive downturned lip is clearly stamped with the "HOT SHOT" model name in black lettering, positioned just below the hand-painted yellow and black eyes. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the hardware consists of a single belly-mounted treble hook attached via a robust split ring. Identified by product code 8131, this specimen's design is specifically tailored for back-trolling or casting in light-tackle situations where a small profile is necessary. Every paint detail remains crisp, reflecting the quality control of the original American production run.
