Stamped clearly into the nickel blade is the "Metric BY LUHR JENSEN" branding, marking its origins as a classic USA-made spinner. This specimen, assigned product code 12641, weighs 3/16oz (5g) and measures a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm). The tiered metal body segments add a distinct architectural look to the central shaft while concentrating the mass for casting. A vibrant red sleeve is fitted over the treble hook shank, providing a high-visibility focal point against the polished nickel surfaces. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows a clean, bright finish across all metal components. Though no longer in production, the construction remains robust, featuring a tight wire-wrapped line tie and a smooth-turning clevis that supports the blade rotation.
