Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Shyster, 1/4oz yellow/gold spinning lure #24096

A vibrant yellow body accented with bold black dots defines this Luhr Jensen Shyster, a classic American-made spinner weighing 1/4 oz (7 g). Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, the design features a signature offset eyelet on the wire shaft, a specific technical detail engineered to help stabilize the lure and minimize line twist in both still and moving water. The gold-finished blade displays subtle horizontal bands, paired with a feathered treble hook that maintains a bright yellow profile. This specimen, identified by product code 24096, showcases the quality of vintage Luhr Jensen manufacturing from the USA. The condition is 5/5, with the paint on the weighted body remaining crisp and the hardware showing a clean, bright finish throughout.
