Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 503, 1/8oz fishing spoon #14852

A classic 'U' shaped bend defines the profile of this Luhr Jensen original, which remains unused in its vintage carded packaging and is rated at a condition 6. Stamped with the Super Duper name and size directly into the metal body, this size 503 model features a high-visibility Nickel finish with a distinct Red Head. At 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) long and weighing 1/8 oz (4.3g), it was a staple for anglers targeting trout and panfish. The original card from Hood River, Oregon, identifies this specific variant as product code 14852 and suggests it for both casting and trolling applications. According to the manufacturer’s instructions on the reverse, the lure performs effectively when trolled 30–50 feet (9.1–15.2 m) behind a boat or placed 18" (45.7 cm) behind a trailing attractor. The hardware setup consists of a simple round-eyed snap for the line tie and a rear-mounted treble hook attached via a split ring.
