Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon 4, 1/3oz Nickel/Red UV​ - glows in UV light spinning lure #16629

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this 1/3 oz (10 g) blade were designed to scatter light in multiple directions, mimicking the scales of a baitfish. This Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon 4, carrying product code 16629, features a distinctive red tiered body along the shaft that gives the model its name. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, the lure utilizes a UV-reactive red plastic that glows under specific lighting conditions, providing a visual trigger in deeper or stained water. Discontinued since 2004, this American-made specimen represents a classic era of Luhr Jensen production before manufacturing shifts occurred. The hammered texture on the teardrop blade provides a different flash profile than smooth polished versions, while the terminal tackle consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring. Presenting in a 5/5 condition, the hardware remains bright and the red "tees" retain their vibrant, saturated hue. A simple swivel is pre-rigged at the top to help manage line twist during a steady retrieve.
