Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon, 1/8oz spinning lure #16711

Weighing 1/8oz (4g), the hammered silver finish on the blade of this Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon catches the light from multiple angles thanks to its textured surface. This 3 1/4" (8 cm) specimen is built around a wire-through core, featuring two distinct orange plastic cone-shaped tees that provide its namesake profile. Stamped with the Luhr Jensen branding and model designation directly on the metal, the teardrop blade sits behind a small barrel swivel designed for line attachment. Several pink-orange beads are positioned between the metal and plastic components, adding localized color accents to the assembly. Produced in the USA, the lure is in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5, showing a bright metallic luster and intact plastic parts. The original treble hook remains firmly attached to the rear loop, completing a well-preserved piece of Pacific Northwest fishing history.
