Museum Archive: Vintage Pre Rapala Luhr Jensen Kokanee King, 1/16oz fishing spoon #22814

Tipping the scales at a delicate 1/16oz (1.7g), this specimen represents the classic era of American tackle craft before the brand's acquisition. The Pre Rapala Luhr Jensen Kokanee King, cataloged under product code 22814, features a sleek 1 1/2" (4cm) fish-shaped body stamped from metal, finished in a bright silver that contrasts with the bold orange paint on the tail section. This specific color combination is a traditional favorite for targeting landlocked salmon, typically used in light-line trolling setups. Attached to the rear via a split ring is a single hook paired with a small, teardrop-shaped spinner blade that provides additional visual flash during movement. Proudly made in the USA, the lure is in exceptional condition, rated 5/5, with the painted accents and metal surfaces showing no signs of use. The small trailer blade is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark, ensuring its authenticity as an original Hood River production piece.
