Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Pflueger Limper Limpet#4, 3/5oz Nickel / Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #9230

A longitudinal split between polished nickel and a warm bronze-toned brass gives the Pflueger Limper Limpet #4 its striking visual identity. Cataloged under product code 9230, this specimen weighs 3/5oz (16g) and measures 2 1/4" (6cm) in length. Luhr Jensen’s manufacturing of this USA-made spoon reflects a design period where dual-plated finishes were utilized to provide contrasting flash in various water clarity levels. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring at the head and a robust treble hook attached via a secondary ring at the tail, both of which exhibit consistent metallic integrity. With a condition rating of 4/5, the metal surfaces are notably clean, preserving the sharp division between the silver and gold tones. The slight curve of the stamped metal body indicates a construction intended for casting or trolling applications.
