Weighing in at a delicate 3/32 oz (2.3 g), this gold-finished Luhr Jensen specimen features the distinct U-shaped bend that made the Super-Duper a staple in American tackle boxes. This 1 1/4" (3 cm) lure, product code 23303, utilizes an unconventional design to catch water, providing a specific movement that has historically targeted trout, perch, and pike. The brassy gold plating remains bright, showing a condition of 5/5, with only the slightest softening to the luster that adds character to the piece. A vibrant red accent at the line tie provides a visual trigger point, while the hardware includes a classic treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring. It’s a design intended for versatility, performing well whether you are casting into a stream or trolling on a light line. The original snap swivel is still attached, making it ready for the water or a collector's display. Made in the USA, the stamped metal body reflects a time of straightforward, effective engineering in fishing tackle.
