Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Lil Minno, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #10797

A highly reflective Nickel finish coats the 1 1/2" (4 cm) stamped metal body, which is anatomically shaped to mimic a small baitfish profile. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this Luhr Jensen Lil' Minno, identified by product code 10797, features a scale-textured surface designed for light displacement while casting or trolling. The specimen is preserved in its original yellow-and-black carded packaging, carrying a "Litho in U.S.A." mark and a retail sticker dated 03/15/00 from the Hood River, Oregon factory era. A single treble hook is attached via a split ring at the tail, and the nose is pre-drilled for a direct line tie. This lure is unused and remains in its original factory state within the clear blister pack.
