Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Limpet Jig Lure, 3/5oz Gold / Silver fishing spoon #13653

Longitudinal splitting of the finish defines the aesthetic of this Luhr Jensen Limpet Jig Lure, offering a dual-sided presentation of polished silver and textured gold. Produced in the USA under product code 13653, the metal body spans 6cm (2 1/4") and carries a weight of 16g (3/5oz), making it a substantial choice for reaching deeper structures. The hardware consists of a single large treble hook attached via a split ring, paired with a reinforced line tie at the head for secure rigging. This specific specimen presents in 4/5 condition, showing a clean transition between its metallic halves and maintaining the integrity of its heavy plating. The gold side provides a warmer contrast to the mirror-like silver side, a combination often favored by jigging enthusiasts for its visibility in varying light conditions. The profile is slim and tapered, a classic design characteristic of mid-century jigging spoons intended for a steady vertical presentation.
