Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Luhr’s wobbler, 3/16oz fishing spoon #15880

Stamped clearly on the smooth copper reverse, the manufacturer's mark identifies this specimen as a classic production from Hood River, Oregon. The hammered texture across the face is designed to catch light from multiple angles, providing visual flash even in deeper water. This particular Luhr’s wobbler, product code 15880, is a 3/16 oz (6 g) casting spoon that measures 1" (2.7 cm) in length. For a brief period, Luhr Jensen produced this specific model as their own version of the Acme Wob-L-Rite, making it a notable find for those who track brand evolution. The lure remains unused, retaining its original bright copper finish and sharp silver treble hook. Its heavy-for-its-size construction suggests a lure built for long-distance casting and reaching specific depths quickly. A single mounting hole at the head allows for a direct line tie or the addition of a split ring.
