Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, 3/32oz Black / White / Nickel fishing spoon #3889

Polished nickel construction gives the back of this 3/32 oz (3 g) spoon a mirror-like finish, bearing the clear stampings of its Hood River, Oregon heritage. Identified by product code 3889, this Needlefish 2 features a high-contrast black and white pattern over a subtle honeycomb texture on its top side. A single hook is secured via a split ring, which also carries a small metal flasher blade stamped with the Luhr Jensen Indiana mark. The 2" (5 cm) body is engineered for trolling at speeds around 1.5 miles per hour, ideally on lines no heavier than 8-pound-test. All components, including the split rings and hook, are in 5/5 condition with a bright, clean appearance. The narrow profile makes it a specialized choice for trout anglers working ponds or lakes during the spring.
