Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, 3/32oz fishing spoon #20244

Honeycomb textures pressed into the metal surface characterize the pearly white face of this 3/32 oz (3 g) trolling spoon. Blended cyan blue and pink gradients highlight the edges of the 2" (5 cm) body, which is further decorated with seven prominent black dots. Stamped on the reverse, the Luhr Jensen name and Hood River, Oregon location mark its origins as a classic American-made lure. Carrying product code 20244, the Needlefish 2 is a dedicated trolling tool designed for speeds near 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h), where its thin profile generates wide oscillations. In cool spring conditions, it can be run 100 feet (30 m) behind the boat on light line without the need for additional sinkers. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showing a clean finish and original hardware.
