Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Rattlesnake, 3/5oz nickel/yellow/red/black fishing spoon #22856

A vibrant yellow base serves as the high-visibility canvas for this 3/5 oz (17 g) spoon, which is decorated with a pattern of nine orange-red ovals centered with sharp black dots. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this Luhr Jensen Rattlesnake specimen showcases a polished nickel finish on its reverse side. Manufactured in the USA and identified by product code 22856, the lure is in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating. Its rear assembly is particularly interesting, featuring two small silver-colored attractor blades rigged to the tail split ring alongside a bronze-finished treble hook. These secondary blades add extra metallic glint to the presentation during casting or trolling applications.
