Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 506, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #21009

Stamped with patent number 2,719,378 on the brassy reverse side, this Luhr Jensen specimen is a classic example of Mid-Century American design. The unique "U"-shaped body measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and is finished in a warm gold tone. A notable visual feature is the holographic prism tape applied to the front face, reflecting light alongside the characteristic red-painted tip near the line tie. At the tail, a sharp treble hook is secured by a sturdy split ring, designed for either casting or trolling on light line. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), it provides the necessary mass for targeting trout, perch, or pike. This Super-Duper 506, under product code 21009, showcases a non-traditional shape that merges characteristics of both spoons and spinners. The finish and hardware are exceptionally well-preserved, earning this piece a 5/5 condition rating.
