Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Reflecto #5, 3/4oz Nickel / Yellow fishing spoon #9626

At 3 3/4" (9.5cm) in length, this teardrop-shaped spoon provides substantial surface area for maximum visibility. Sized as a #5, the Reflecto carries a solid weight of 3/4oz (21g), making it a reliable choice for long-distance casting or controlled trolling. The high-polish Nickel finish on this American-made specimen reflects light intensely, mimicking the flash of fleeing baitfish. Looking at the concave side, you will notice the distinctive single hook mount, where the hook is secured directly to the body with a sturdy screw. This hardware configuration, characteristic of the Luhr Jensen Reflecto line (Product Code 9626), ensures the yellow feather tail remains aligned with the spoon's frame. The plating remains exceptionally bright across the entire surface, earning a condition rating of 5/5. These feathered lures were favorites for coastal species and larger freshwater predators alike, where the added bulk of the hackles provided a larger profile without altering the weight.
