Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1, 1/16oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #5888

Vibrant Metallic Perch gradients—often recognized as a Fire Tiger pattern—wrap the slim body of this specialized trolling spoon. Weighing 1/16 oz (2 g) and reaching a length of 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), this Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1 is equipped with the distinctive metal 'flipper tail' that adds secondary flash near the hook. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 1051-001-0814, remains in its original blister pack and is unused. While the card shows typical signs of handling, the lure’s finish is pristine, showcasing the dark vertical bars over a bright green-to-orange fade. Designed specifically for light-line trolling in lakes and ponds, it utilizes a single hook configuration to facilitate easy hook-ups and releases. The manufacturing origin is noted as Indonesia on the reverse of the card, reflecting the global production history of this Luhr Jensen staple.
