Stamped clearly on the reverse with the Luhr Jensen Hood River, Oregon hallmark, this 2" (5cm) Needlefish 2 is a quintessential piece of Pacific Northwest angling history. The nickel-finished body features a detailed fish scale etching and a central iridescent tape insert that mimics natural baitfish flash. Carrying product code 17955, this specimen weighs in at a light 3/32oz (3g), identifying it as a specialist tool for light-tackle trolling. You'll notice the classic single siwash hook is paired with a small teardrop-shaped metal attractor blade to provide secondary flash near the hook point. The condition of this specific lure is 5/5, showing a bright, reflective surface and very clean hardware. These spoons were specifically designed for slow-speed trolling in lakes and ponds, proving highly effective for trout when fished on light line. The slim profile and solid metal construction reflect the high manufacturing standards of the original Oregon-based production.
