Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 501, 3/32oz Trout fishing spoon #15317

Measuring exactly 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, the distinctive 'U-shape' of this Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 501 remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in any vintage tackle box. This specimen, identified by product code 15317, features the classic Trout color pattern, where soft blue and pink gradients are accented by bold black spots along the flank. At a light 3/32oz (2.3 g), it is a dedicated tool for light-line trout and panfish applications. The lure maintains an excellent condition rating of 5/5, with the original paint and hardware, including the treble hook and front snap, appearing remarkably fresh. Stamped into the silver interior is the patent number 2,713,712, a nod to the American manufacturing history of this Hood River, Oregon brand.
