Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, fishing spoon #22741

A vibrant fluorescent red and pearl white scale pattern defines the top face of this classic trolling spoon. Stamped clearly on the brass-finished reverse is the Luhr Jensen Needlefish name, a hallmark of quality for anglers targeting lake trout and kokanee. Measuring 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) and weighing approximately 1/12 oz (2.4 g), the thin-profile metal body is designed specifically for trolling applications. This specimen features its original single hook and split rings, remaining in unused condition. Developed by Luhr Jensen for slow-speed presentations, it maintains broad swings at speeds around 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h). In the cool waters of early spring, running this lure 100 feet (30.5 m) behind the boat on light line is a time-tested technique. The product code for this specific item is 22741.
