Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz nickel/red fishing spoon #22969

Nickel plating paired with a vibrant red tip gives this 1/16 oz (2 g) specimen its distinctive visual signature. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.8 cm), the slender profile is synonymous with the Luhr Jensen legacy of specialized trolling hardware. The front portion is finished in a bold orange-red, while the silver-toned body features a detailed fish-scale embossing to catch light underwater. Carrying the product code 22969, the back of the spoon is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark, documenting its American production history. Anglers often deploy these for lake trout in cool spring waters, as the lightweight design performs optimally at speeds around 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h). This particular lure remains in excellent shape, showing a 4/5 condition with clear stamping and intact finishes. A single hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, ready for the water or a collector's display.
