Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Power Dive Minnow , 3/5oz fishing lure #15407

Measuring 4" (10cm) from nose to tail, the slender profile of this Luhr Jensen Power Dive Minnow is designed specifically for reaching depths other crankbaits often miss. This American-made lure, identified by Product Code 15407, features a striking finish with a dark green back that fades into bright yellow flanks, all broken up by bold, black vertical bars. A vivid orange belly adds a traditional high-contrast element to the underside. The most prominent feature is the oversized clear diving lip, which houses the line tie eyelet to facilitate a steep dive angle for the 3/5oz (16g) body. Equipped with two sharp treble hooks and sturdy split rings, the hardware remains bright and functional. In a condition rated 5/5, the paint is pristine, showing the original factory sheen without any visible marks or scratches from use. The large diving plane suggests a specialized application for deep-water trolling or casting toward submerged structures.
