Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2 UV, 3/32oz Nickel / Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #12323

Nickel plating provides the foundation for the 2" (5cm) elongated frame of this Luhr Jensen Needlefish 2 UV. Weighing a mere 3/32oz (3g), the spoon features a white face with etched scale patterns and a sequence of yellow, green, and orange dots. A bright orange strip runs along one side, which, along with the specific green and orange spots, glows under ultraviolet light for increased visibility in dark water. Identified by product code 12323, the lure maintains its original single hook and split ring hardware in 5/5 condition. The thin, lightweight design is intended for trolling at slow speeds, approximately 1.5 mph, to achieve a sharp fluttering wobble. Made in the USA, the craftsmanship is evident in the precise paint application and the contrast between the nickel back and the colorful front. Anglers often find the Rainbow Trout pattern particularly effective for trout and landlocked salmon in cool spring waters.
