Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen TEE Spoon, 1/2oz Gold / Red spinning lure #12760

Four stacked red plastic spacers create the signature profile of this American-made spinner, a design that Luhr Jensen produced until 2004. Stretching 4 3/4" (12 cm) in total length, the TEE Spoon (product code 12760) is built around a central wire shaft carrying a sizable gold-finished blade. This 1/2 oz (14 g) lure stands out for its UV-reactive properties; while the spacers appear as a standard translucent red in daylight, they glow with intense brightness under a blacklight. The gold blade displays a textured surface with slight peppering, indicative of its 4/5 condition, while the original treble hook and top swivel remain intact. Designed for both casting and trolling, the Gold/Red color combination provides a classic contrast that remains a favorite among collectors of Pacific Northwest tackle history.
