Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Metric Pro Spinner​ 4, 2/5oz Hammered Gold spinning lure #1881

Hammered textures catch light uniquely on the gold-toned blade of this size 4 spinner. At 2/5 oz (11 g), this Metric Pro Spinner is weighted for effective casting across various water conditions. This specimen measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and is preserved in its original blister pack, showing it is unused. The blade's dimpled surface is a hallmark of Luhr Jensen’s "Hammered Gold" finish, designed to break up light reflections. A bright red sleeve covers the treble hook shank, acting as a focal point for following fish. This Mexican-made lure, carrying product code 1881, represents a period of Luhr Jensen’s production when they expanded manufacturing while maintaining their Oregon-based heritage. The brass beads and clevis are mounted on a straight wire shaft, ensuring the blade sits correctly for rotation.
