Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Hus-Lure UV, 1/8oz Silver / Chartreuse fishing spoon #10980

Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), this ultra-light Hus-Lure is a testament to the classic American manufacturing from Luhr Jensen's Hood River, Oregon facility. The 1 1/2" (4cm) spoon features a vibrant Silver and Chartreuse color scheme, notably enhanced by a prismatic checkerboard pattern on the center insert. Classified as a "Wobbler" on the original packaging, its construction is geared toward light-tackle casting or trolling. A key technical feature of this 10980 model is the UV-active fluorescent finish; under ultraviolet light, the chartreuse edges glow with high intensity to provide visibility in low-light or stained water environments. This specimen is unused, remaining in its original vintage retail packaging. The hardware includes a factory-rigged treble hook and a robust split ring, while the metal body itself is stamped with the "Made in USA" mark on the reverse side.
