Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Shot W, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23682

Polished nickel plating provides a high-visibility finish on this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon, a classic design from the Luhr Jensen workshops in the USA. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this Hot Shot W model, identified by product code 23682, features a distinctive contoured body with wave-like indentations that catch the light from multiple angles. The metal surface remains bright and reflective, earning a condition rating of 5/5 for its well-preserved state. It is equipped with a genuine treble hook attached via a robust split ring at the tail, while the head features a clean-punched eyelet for secure rigging. This specific specimen reflects the utilitarian beauty of vintage Luhr Jensen hardware, originally engineered for the demanding conditions of river casting and light trolling.
