Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Luhr jensen Hot Shot M5, 3/32oz Orange fishing lure #7819

Stamped clearly on the diving lip is the "HOT-SHOT M5" designation, identifying this specialized tool from Luhr Jensen. Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this 3/32 oz (2.5 g) plug features a vibrant Orange finish that transitions into a deeper reddish tone near the throat. This specific model is designed to reach depths of 3 - 5 ft (0.9 - 1.5 m), making it a staple for back-trolling or casting in varied river conditions. The construction includes a single belly-mounted treble hook and a distinct, vertically oriented tail fin. Made in the USA, this specimen carries a 5/5 condition rating, showing well-preserved paint and hardware. The hardware is secured with robust split rings, and the original stamp remains crisp and legible against the bright plastic body.
