Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Rocket 88, 1/2oz Copper fishing spoon #17930

Stamped with an iconic rocket graphic, this 2" (5.2 cm) copper spoon is a classic Luhr Jensen piece originating from the USA. Weighing 1/2oz (14g), the lure’s body is clearly marked with its weight alongside the Rocket 88 name and manufacturer stamp, ensuring quick identification in a collector's case. This specimen, identified by product code 17930, features a warm copper tone that has aged gracefully, earning a solid 5/5 condition rating. The hardware includes a robust treble hook and a pre-rigged barrel swivel at the line tie intended to reduce line twist during casting or trolling. The design highlights the utility-focused manufacturing Luhr Jensen was known for, including a textured reverse side that provides a distinct visual profile from the stamped face. The deep-set engraving of the logo remains sharp and legible against the metallic surface.
