Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, the slender profile of this spoon is paired with a distinct scale pattern etched into a vibrant purple finish. Weighing in at 1/16oz (2g), this Luhr Jensen classic, identified by product code 1165, features a polished nickel back that contrasts beautifully with the top's deep violet hue. The reverse side bears the clear stamping of "Needlefish 1" alongside the manufacturer's Hood River, Oregon origin, a detail highly valued by Pacific Northwest tackle collectors. A small secondary blade stamped "Luhr Jensen Indiana" is rigged directly to the single hook, providing an extra point of reflection. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with a bright, clean surface and sharp hardware. Primarily intended for trolling applications, the construction remains robust, featuring quality split rings and a profile designed to hold its shape under tension.
