Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Sneak, 1/8oz gold spinning lure #18264

Stamped clearly onto the gold-toned blade, the lettering identifies this as a "SNEAK BY LUHR JENSEN," an iconic piece from their light-tackle lineup. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm), this specific specimen (Product Code 18264) showcases the classic craftsmanship of its USA origin. The blade features several embossed horizontal stripes across the face to catch light and provide texture. Below the blade assembly, a small red bead leads to a cylindrical weighted body finished in bright red paint. This paint displays minor chipping that reveals the metal beneath, consistent with a positive 4/5 condition rating. A bronze-finished treble hook is attached to the rear of the wire shaft via a circular split ring for easy replacement or secure hooksets.
