Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #10948

A Metallic Perch finish featuring vertical barring over a green and orange gradient characterizes this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) Luhr Jensen Needlefish. Designated with product code 1051-001-0814, this No. 1 size lure is a staple for light-line trolling for trout and salmon. The top of the spoon is fitted with a "flipper tail"—a small, stamped metal blade—intended to create additional light reflection. This 1/16 oz (2 g) specimen is equipped with a single VMC hook, specifically chosen by the manufacturer for its reliability. This particular lure is unused, still sealed in its original packaging with the classic red and yellow card. Produced in Indonesia, the backing provides specific rigging advice, recommending Sufix line to complement the lure's slim, lightweight design during trolling sessions.
