Stamped with the 'SUPER DUPER' name along its curved side, this 1 1/4" (3cm) metal lure represents a unique piece of American tackle history. The nickel-finished body is accented by a vibrant red tip, creating a high-contrast look that catches light across its bent metal surface. At a weight of 3/32oz (2.3g), it is equipped with a clean treble hook attached via a split ring and a factory-included snap for easy attachment. This specific specimen, carrying product code 12373, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright luster on both the silver-tone metal and the red paint. The U-shaped geometry is characteristic of the 501 model, a design that Luhr Jensen produced in the USA to bridge the gap between spoons and spinners for light-line enthusiasts.
