Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Tail , 3/16oz Nickel / Frog spinning lure #12884

Weighted at 3/16oz (5g), this regional favorite features a distinctive cylindrical body finished in a classic Frog pattern of mottled yellow and green. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the lure is built with a polished nickel blade and a feathered treble hook that hides a secondary red attractor blade. This specific variant, bearing Product Code 12884, showcases the craftsmanship Luhr Jensen was known for before this particular model was discontinued. The feathered dressing remains intact and the metallic components show high clarity, consistent with a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors of American-made tackle will recognize the specific teardrop blade shape common to Pacific Northwest designs. The assembly is held together by a sturdy wire frame with a top-mounted swivel for direct line attachment.
