Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 503, 1/8oz fishing spoon #13720

A distinct brass finish with a vibrant red tip defines the look of this particular specimen. This Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 503, cataloged under product code 13720, showcases the brand’s classic "Original U-shape Design" originating from Hood River, Oregon. Measuring 1 1/2" (38 mm) in length and weighing 1/8 oz (4.3 g), the lure is sized for light-tackle trolling and casting applications. The metal body is stamped with the "Super-Duper 503" identification and remains in its original retail packaging, indicating the lure is unused. A single bronze-finished treble hook is secured to the rear fold by a split ring. Luhr Jensen's documentation notes its versatility across fresh and salt water, though this specific size is a traditional favorite for trout. The simple, folded metal construction serves as a signature of the Luhr Jensen lineup from the mid-2000s, as reflected by the 2006 copyright date on the card back.
