Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, 3/32oz White / Orange / Yellow / Green fishing spoon #0373

Weighing in at just 3/32 oz (3 g), this slender Luhr Jensen specimen is a staple for light-tackle trout anglers. The 2" (5 cm) body displays a clean silver-white finish accented with a bright orange strip along the belly and a prominent yellow eye with a black pupil. One flank is detailed with small green and red dots, while the reverse side features the authentic brand stamping identifying it as a genuine USA-made product. Listed under product code 0373, the lure is in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its original sheen and sharp single hook. This Needlefish 2 is specifically engineered for trolling rather than casting. Its light, thin profile is designed to create a sharply fluttering wobble when trolled at a steady 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h). For the best results in spring lake conditions, it is typically run 100 feet (30.5 m) behind the boat on light 8-pound-test (3.6 kg) line without additional weights. The hardware consists of a robust split ring at the head for line attachment and another at the tail securing the single hook, allowing for maximum movement.
