Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Hot Tail, 1/8oz spinning lure #12676

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this feathered spinner utilizes a compact 2 1/4" (6 cm) frame designed for precision casting. The Luhr Jensen Hot Tail is identified by product code 12676 and features a striking silver "Instant-Spin Blade" paired with a dark, textured body. This specimen is presented in its original yellow and red carded packaging, which highlights the "Red Magic Flipper Tail"—a secondary attractor located near the feathered treble hook. Manufactured in Mexico, the lure remains unused with a condition rating of 6, preserving the integrity of the black feathers and the sharpness of the hardware. The reverse of the card reveals the specific 2393-018-084 item number and historical catalog details from the brand’s Hood River, Oregon era. The black color pattern provides a high-contrast silhouette in the water, complemented by the flash of the polished blade.
