Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Shyster, 1/8oz nickel spinning lure #18751

A polished nickel blade paired with a white body and black dots defines this Luhr Jensen Shyster, a classic weighted action spinner from Hood River, Oregon. Carrying product code 18751, the lure remains in unused condition (rating: 6) within its original bubble pack. The design features a specialized off-center hitch meant to eliminate line twist, a technical detail that makes it highly effective for casting or trolling. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g) with an overall length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), it includes a feathered treble hook for added visual presence. Instructions on the reverse of the card, labeled re-order number 2404-018-062, suggest various techniques from surface skipping to deep-hole drifting for species like trout, steelhead, and warm-water fish. The weighted body allows for precise placement in fast-water streams or quiet lake environments.
