Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen P.J.POP Wooden Hand-made lure, 3/5oz Black / Silver fishing lure #9634

A substantial 3/5 oz (17 g) weight provides the necessary mass for distance casting with this Luhr Jensen P.J. Pop. This vintage popper, identified by product code 9634, features an all-wood body that collectors often prefer for its unique buoyancy and presence compared to plastic counterparts. The Silver Foil/Blk Shad color scheme, also labeled as 6454-038-0996 on the packaging, showcases a dark back tapering into a reflective foiled side with a scale-patterned belly. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.2 cm) in length, the lure is unused and remains preserved in its original yellow and red blister card. Large yellow eyes with dark pupils are set into the black head for high visibility. While the Luhr Jensen legacy is tied to Hood River, Oregon, the packaging indicates this specific handcrafted specimen was manufactured in Mexico. The rear treble hook is equipped with a white feather-like skirt to add a visual element during topwater work.
