Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Live Wire, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #11658

A hefty 3/4 oz (21 g) weight provides the density needed for precision jigging or reaching deep-water structure with this vintage find. Produced in the USA, the Nickel finish on this specimen reflects light brilliantly across its flat, rectangular surfaces. The hardware is built for serious duty, featuring a barrel swivel connected by a split ring at the line tie and a sharp treble hook at the trailing end. Identified by product code 11658, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) metal lure is a testament to the manufacturing standards of Luhr Jensen’s Oregon roots. The condition is a clean 5/5, with the reflective plating maintaining its original luster. A crisp stamp is visible on the metal body, marking its place in the historical catalog of Pacific Northwest fishing gear.
