Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz white/red UV fishing spoon #22809

White and red UV paint creates a high-contrast finish on this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) trolling spoon. Stamped on the reverse side are the Luhr Jensen and Needlefish names, marking this as product code 22809. Weighing in at 1/16 oz (2 g), this USA-made lure is designed for light-line trolling, often run 100 feet (30 m) behind a boat in cool spring waters. The white section of the body is textured with a fine scale pattern, while the nose is accented with a solid red tip. Hardware consists of a top split ring and a rear treble hook, both in clean condition. A 4/5 condition rating reflects the well-preserved state of the painted surfaces and metal body, showing only minor signs of age. For lake trout and other salmonids, the thin profile is calibrated to oscillate steadily when trolled at speeds near 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h).
