Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Reflecto #0, 1/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #0469

Nickel plating provides a mirror-like finish on this petite Luhr Jensen Reflecto #0, a classic American-made spoon identified by product code 0469. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing a light 1/16 oz (2 g), the lure is built for navigating dense cover. Its weedless design features a single hook protected by a metal guard, secured firmly to the teardrop-shaped body with a visible screw. The metal surface is clearly stamped with the "REFLECTO" name and size "0" at the head near the split ring attachment point. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the nickel surface remains bright and well-preserved. This specific model was engineered for finesse applications, allowing anglers to work the lure through vegetation where standard spoons might snag. The sleek, polished profile is characteristic of the Luhr Jensen tradition of functional, high-quality metal lures.
