Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Luhr jensen Hot Shot 70, 1/16oz fishing lure #8559

A striking red tip highlights the diving lip of this 1" (2.5 cm) Luhr Jensen Hot Shot 70, where the model name is clearly printed in black. Identified by product code 8559, the body features a detailed green and gold honeycomb scale pattern that transitions into a warm yellow-orange belly. Weighing in at 1/16 oz (1.6 g), this small-profile specimen is rated at a condition of 5/5, maintaining a bright, clean finish from the spine to the hook. The single treble hook is mounted on a metal chain assembly, a traditional hardware choice for these lightweight lures. Intended for reaching depths of 3 ft (0.9 m), the lure showcases the quality expected from its USA manufacturing origin. A small, dark eye dot is neatly placed at the junction of the head and the integrated diving bill.
