Gold-plated and accented with vibrant orange edges, this size 2 Luhr Jensen spoon is a staple for trout trollers. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing in at 3/32 oz (3 g), the slim brass body features a distinct scale pattern and a yellow eye with a black pupil. Stamped clearly on the reverse is "NEEDLEFISH", the size "2", and the manufacturer's location, "LUHR JENSEN, HOOD RIVER, ORE," identifying its origins from the Pacific Northwest. Cataloged under product code 0383, the lure is designed to produce a sharply fluttering wobble when trolled at speeds around 1.5 miles per hour. The specimen is in excellent shape, maintaining a bright finish and a sharp single hook, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. A classic brass base is complemented by orange dots along the midline, making it highly visible in the cool, clear waters of spring.
