Brass plating and a signature red-tipped head define the aesthetic of this vintage Needlefish 1, a staple for trout and kokanee anglers for decades. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing a mere 1/16 oz (2 g), this specimen carries the product code 2367 on its original retail price sticker. The slim, lightweight metal body is paired with a sharp single hook, specifically engineered for trolling at speeds near 1.5 miles per hour. This lure is unused and remains attached to its original Luhr Jensen & Sons packaging from Hood River, Oregon. The vintage carding features detailed instructions, suggesting a light line no heavier than 8-pound test and a trailing distance of 100 feet (30.5 m) behind the boat for success in cool spring waters. Though the packaging shows minor evidence of its history on a tackle shop shelf, the brass-finished lure itself remains in its original state.
