Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen luhr jensen Mister J, 1/2oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #1879

Weighted at 1/2 oz (14g), this classic teardrop spoon features a high-contrast Nickel / Red color scheme designed for maximum visibility in the water column. This specimen, assigned product code 1879, arrives unused and still housed in its original Luhr Jensen blister pack, maintaining a condition rating of 6. The construction centers on a stamped metal body paired with a factory-installed barrel swivel to prevent line twist during casting or trolling applications. On the card, the Hood River, Oregon, and Vancouver, B.C. locations highlight the regional heritage of the brand. A polished nickel finish covers the majority of the lure's surface, while a vibrant red paint application provides a distinct secondary color. The rigging is completed with a durable treble hook attached via a split ring, reflecting the heavy-duty utility Luhr Jensen built into their traditional hardware.
