Vintage Luhr Jensen Luhr jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz ​copper/red UV glows fishing spoon #22742

A scale-textured copper finish transitions into a bright red UV glow section on this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) spoon, cataloged as product code 22742. Weighing 1/16 oz (2 g), the Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1 features a signature thin profile that has long been a staple for lake trout specialists. The reverse side bears the crisp "LUHR JENSEN NEEDLEFISH" stamp, and this particular item remains in 5/5 condition with clean hardware and an original single hook. For spring trolling in cool water, many anglers prefer trailing this lure approximately 100 ft (30 m) behind the boat on 8-10 lb line. The lure is specifically balanced for trolling at speeds near 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h), where the slender metal body produces a wide oscillation. The integrated UV properties are designed to catch filtered light at depth, providing a high-contrast target for salmonids in various light conditions.
