Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Klawdad , 1/4oz Shrimp fishing lure #11187

Wrapped in a mottled Shrimp color pattern, this vintage crawfish imitation showcases the detailed realism that made the American-made Luhr Jensen lineup so respected among bass anglers. This specimen, carrying product code 11187, weighs 1/4 oz (7 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length. It remains in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use with its finish and hardware fully intact. The design features a line tie at the tail, intended to mimic the backward-swimming escape of a real crustacean when cast or twitched. An integrated diving lip on the head allows the lure to reach depths of approximately 5 ft (1.5 m), while internal rattles provide a distinct sound profile. As a slow-floating model, it provides a subtle rise during pauses in the retrieve. The lure is equipped with two bronze-finished treble hooks secured to the belly, and the body includes anatomical segments and darkened eye spots for a more lifelike appearance.
