Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Klawdad , 1/4oz fishing lure #11643

A detailed crawfish pattern featuring golden-brown tones and black mottling covers the body of this lure, providing a realistic mimicry of natural forage. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this floating model is built for casting and twitching, reaching depths of approximately 5ft (1.5 m). Collectors often look for the 11643 product code, representing the quality of Luhr Jensen's USA-made production. This 2 3/4" (7cm) specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing off crisp orange accents on the tail and forward lip. It is a noisy, slow-rising lure designed to trigger strikes from pike and perch. The hardware consists of two original bronze-colored treble hooks. By placing the line tie on the tail fin, the designers ensured the lure moves backwards through the water column, just like a panicked crawfish.
