Stamped clearly into the brass blade is the legacy of American manufacturing, marking this as a Luhr Jensen Metric 3. This vintage inline spinner, identified by product code 12495, features a polished brass blade followed by a series of stacked bronze beads and a pair of small red beads for visual contrast. Further down the wire, a dark green ribbed segment leads into a translucent, tan split-tail soft plastic trailer. Weighing 1/4 oz (8 g) with a total length of 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure is a well-preserved example of USA-made craftsmanship from a discontinued line. The specimen is in excellent shape, rated 5/5, and features a single-hook configuration designed for casting into various freshwater environments.
