Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen LG Johnson 7, 1oz nickel/brass fishing spoon #19851

A striking split-finish design defines the nickel and brass surfaces of this classic trolling spoon. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm) and weighing 1oz (28g), this Luhr Jensen LG Johnson 7 is a robust piece of vintage American tackle manufactured in the USA. The interior of the metal is clearly stamped with the manufacturer name and the L.G. Johnson model designation, a detail prized by those cataloging Northwest angling history. It features a heavy-duty single hook with a sharp barb, secured by a sturdy split ring, and comes equipped with a swivel at the nose to mitigate line twist. This specimen, assigned product code 19851, is in 4/5 condition, showing a clean surface and well-maintained hardware. The contrast between the bright nickel and the warm brass provides a dual-tone flash intended for deep-water trolling visibility.
