Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Manistee 3, 1/3oz Yellow fishing spoon #17922

Yellow paint with high-contrast black dots defines the visual profile of this Luhr Jensen Manistee 3, a versatile spoon that reveals its utility in low-light conditions thanks to its luminous properties. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the stamped metal body carries a weight of 1/3 oz (9 g), providing sufficient mass for effective casting or controlled trolling depths. This specimen, identified by product code 17922, showcases the classic craftsmanship synonymous with the brand's USA-based production history. Looking at the hardware, the lure is equipped with a sturdy barrel swivel attached to the front split ring to mitigate line twist, paired with a single hook at the rear. The condition of this specific piece is excellent, rated 5/5, with a well-maintained finish that retains its original vibrance. When exposed to darkness, the chartreuse-yellow base transitions into a bright green glow, which makes the dark spotting stand out prominently for visual targeting.
