Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Spirit Spoon, 3/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #5834

Nickel plating and a vibrant red accent define the visual profile of this Luhr Jensen classic. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this Spirit Spoon reflects the quality of American manufacturing from the Luhr Jensen era in Hood River, Oregon. The polished metal body is designed to catch light effectively, while the small red plastic tab near the line tie provides a distinct visual trigger for following game fish. This specimen, carrying product code 5834, remains in its original vintage packaging and is unused. The backing card highlights its versatility for species like bass, trout, salmon, and redfish, even including French translations for the international market. The stamped metal surface and solid hardware construction indicate a tool built for casting or trolling in various water conditions.
