Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz fishing spoon #20710

Stamping on the reverse side of the metal body clearly identifies it as a size 1 "NEEDLEFISH" from the Luhr Jensen factory in Hood River, USA. This 1/16 oz (2 g) specimen features a textured scale pattern on its silver face, complemented by a series of red, green, and yellow dots and a bold red stripe along one edge. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the lure is equipped with a clean single hook and split rings for trolling or casting. This particular piece carries the product code 20710 and showcases the high-quality craftsmanship associated with the Oregon-based manufacturer. The finish is extremely well-preserved, maintaining a bright shine that warrants a 5/5 condition rating. A single hook design makes it particularly suitable for light tackle trout or kokanee fishing.
