Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Rocket 88, 1/3oz Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #11311

Polished brass tones define the body of this 1/3oz (10g) vintage spoon. Produced in the USA by Luhr Jensen, the specimen features a distinct 'Rocket 88' and brand logo stamp deep-pressed into the metal surface on the concave side. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7cm), the design utilizes a teardrop profile with a single attachment point at the head. A sturdy split ring connects the rear to a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. This specific item, identified by product code 11311, is finished in a natural Bronze (Brass) that has mellowed slightly over time. With a condition rating of 4/5, the lure shows gentle signs of its history while maintaining a clean, well-preserved look. Collectors will appreciate the legibility of the lettering, a hallmark of these early American-made pieces. Its weight and aerodynamic shape make it a reliable choice for distance casting when targeting freshwater species.
