Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Reflecto #5, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #3312

Polished nickel plating covers the 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) body of this American-made spoon, providing a high-flash surface for diverse lighting conditions. A heavy-duty single hook is fixed to the concave side using a screw-and-washer assembly, which is the primary feature of the Luhr Jensen 3312 weedless design. The stamping on the interior remains crisp, clearly showing the manufacturer’s mark and the Reflecto model designation. Maintaining its original shine with a 4/5 condition rating, the surface shows minor signs of age that do not detract from its utility. This 3/4 oz (21 g) specimen features a distinctive stamped eye on the upper third of the blade, intended to provide a focal point for game fish. The wire guard protecting the hook point is still firm, ready for retrieval through dense vegetation or timber.
