Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz Green fishing spoon #24324

Tipping the scales at a mere 1/16 oz (2 g), this slender trolling spoon is a testament to the minimalist precision found in the Luhr Jensen lineup. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the Needlefish 1 features a vibrant neon green finish overlaid with a subtle, cracked holographic pattern that provides specialized light reflection. This USA-manufactured lure, cataloged under product code 24324, is designed with a remarkably thin profile that serves trout trollers best at speeds around 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h). For spring fishing in clear, cool water, it is effectively fished on 8-10 lb line trailing roughly 100 feet (30 m) behind the boat. The hardware consists of a robust single hook and stainless split rings, all maintaining a condition rating of 5/5. This specific green pattern is particularly effective for lake trout when light penetration is a factor.
