Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Pro Trout 3, 3/16oz Hammered Blue spinning lure #11007

Hammered blue textures across the blade of this size #3 spinner capture light effectively for targeting trout and steelhead in varied water clarity. Weighing 3/16 oz (6 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure features a weighted body of stacked silver-toned beads designed for balanced casting. The treble hook comes equipped with a short section of red tubing, a classic strike-point feature often seen on Luhr Jensen designs from their Hood River, Oregon era. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 11007, remains unused in its original factory packaging with the vibrant orange and yellow card still intact. The reverse of the card lists the color as Neon Blue, which complements the bright blue finish on the hammered metal blade. Crafted in the USA, the assembly uses heavy-gauge wire to maintain alignment during retrieval in moving water.
