Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, 3/32oz Fire Tiger / Gold fishing spoon #12329

A vibrant Fire Tiger pattern transitions from deep orange to yellow and green across the top of this 2" (5 cm) slim metal body. This Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, identified by product code 12329, weighs in at a light 3/32 oz (3 g), making it a specialist's choice for trolling in still waters. Flipping the lure reveals a polished gold underside featuring sharp, clear stamps for the "NEEDLEFISH" name and the manufacturer's Hood River, Oregon location. The hardware consists of sturdy split rings and a single hook, paired with a small, reflective metal flapper at the rear to catch the light. Rated 5/5, the condition is remarkable, with the painted scale pattern and black vertical bars remaining distinct and bright. Intended for slow trolling, this lure is typically run at approximately 1.5 miles per hour on light tackle to entice trout.
