Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Reflecto #3, 2/5oz Nickel fishing spoon #1176

Bright nickel plating covers the 2 3/4" (7cm) teardrop-shaped body of this classic Luhr Jensen spoon. Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), the Reflecto #3, identified by product code 1176, features a specialized weedless construction intended for navigating heavy vegetation. A single, heavy-gauge hook is integrated into the spoon's body using a screw-on metal guard that shields the point from snags. The head of this USA-crafted lure is equipped with a high-quality barrel swivel and split ring to prevent line twist during casting or trolling. This specific specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, showing a highly reflective surface across the entire metal profile. The Luhr Jensen branding and model name are clearly stamped into the metal on the underside of the spoon near the hook attachment point.
