Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Manistee 4, 1/2oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #19778

Hammered nickel and vibrant blue split the teardrop-shaped body of this 1/2 oz (14 g) Luhr Jensen Manistee 4. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a distinctive textured surface that maximizes light reflection in the water. On the concave side, the traditional stamped lettering clearly identifies the Manistee name and the Luhr Jensen brand, a hallmark of their USA-made legacy (Product Code 19778). The hardware includes robust split rings and a single siwash hook, designed for casting or trolling. This specimen is in excellent shape, showing a bright, clean finish that earns a 5/5 condition rating. The blue paint remains crisp against the nickel plating, illustrating the durable finishing techniques for which this manufacturer is known.
