Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 501, 3/32oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #7047

Gold plating covers the majority of this U-shaped metal body, accented by a bold splash of red paint on one end of the fold. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.3 g), the Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 501 (Product Code 7047) features a distinct folded design that has been a staple in trout and panfish boxes for decades. This specific specimen measures 1 1/4" (3 cm) and remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved surfaces and a crisp manufacturer stamp. The hardware includes a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring at the base of the fold, paired with a wire snap at the line-tie end. Originating from the USA, the 501 model is the smallest in the lineup, tailored for delicate presentations where a blend of flash and a unique profile is required. The brass-like luster of the gold finish is complemented by the high-visibility red strike point.
