Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2, 3/32oz fishing spoon #5889

Vibrant orange-to-green gradients and a distinct honeycomb scale pattern define the Fire Tiger aesthetic on this 2" (5 cm) trolling spoon. Cataloged under product code 5889, this Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2 is a lightweight contender at 3/32 oz (3 g), designed specifically for the finesse requirements of trout and landlocked salmon fishing. The design incorporates a small, silver-finished metal flipper tail at the rear split ring, which adds a secondary point of visual interest while trolling. Because the condition is 6, this lure is unused and remains in its original factory packaging. It comes rigged with a single hook, a preferred setup for many Luhr Jensen spoons to ensure reliable hook sets and easier releases. While the brand is famously rooted in Hood River, Oregon, the reverse of the card identifies this particular piece as being manufactured in Indonesia. Anglers typically find these most effective on 8-pound-test line or lighter, especially when trolled in the cool waters of early spring.
