Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen P.J.POP Wooden Hand-made lure, 3/5oz Pearl / Red fishing lure #9635

A weight of 3/5 oz (17 g) gives this wooden topwater plug the necessary density for accurate casting toward surface structure. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the Luhr Jensen P.J.POP is a discontinued model that highlights the brand's history of handcrafted wooden lures. This specific item, identified by product code 9635, features a Pearl / Red color scheme with a clean pearlescent body and a bright red cupped face designed for surface displacement. Large yellow eyes with bold black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point on the lure’s head. The specimen is unused and remains in its original factory blister pack, which features a prominent orange sticker verifying its handcrafted, all-wood construction. Looking at the hardware, the lure is rigged with silver-finished treble hooks. The packaging reflects Luhr Jensen’s heritage, noting their connection to Hood River, Oregon, while the back label provides the specific inventory sequence and technical details.
