Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Rocket 88, 3/5oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #22239

Adorned with a classic red and white wave pattern, the front of this Luhr Jensen Rocket 88 spoon is a staple look for many North American anglers targeting salmon or trout. On the reverse side, the polished nickel finish carries the clear stamp of the Luhr Jensen brand, signifying its manufacturing origin in the USA. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) and weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), this specimen, cataloged under product code 22239, provides substantial mass for long-distance casting or deep-water trolling. The hardware remains original, featuring a robust treble hook attached by a sturdy split ring. Looking at its physical state, the finish shows some light signs of use that add to its history, earning it a solid 4/5 condition rating. Collectors will appreciate that the "Rocket 88" branding remains sharp and legible against the metallic background.
