Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz Frog / Green / Brass fishing spoon #4655

Sporting a classic frog pattern on its slender body, this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) lure from Luhr Jensen is a classic choice for the light-tackle trout enthusiast. The brass reverse side is clearly stamped with the Needlefish 1 name and the Hood River, Oregon, origin. Weighing a delicate 1/16 oz (2 g), the profile is designed to produce a sharply fluttering wobble when trolled at speeds around 1.5 miles per hour. This specific specimen features a treble hook and split rings that remain in solid, functional shape, contributing to a condition rating of 4/5. Identified by product code 4655, the finish consists of a green top coat accented by yellow spots with dark centers. For optimal results in spring waters, many anglers prefer trolling this spoon approximately 100 feet (30.5 m) behind the boat on light test line. The narrow shape and brass construction make it a specialized tool for lake trolling rather than casting. Its vibrant color scheme and historical stampings make it as much a piece of Oregon fishing history as it is a capable tool for the water.
