Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 503, 1/8oz black/gold/red fishing spoon #24244

A distinctive "U" shaped bend defines the profile of this metal piece, a design that has made the Luhr Jensen Super-Duper a staple in trout boxes for decades. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (4.3 g), this specific Super-Duper 503 carries the product code 24244. The finish is a faithful representation of a rainbow trout, featuring a soft pink stripe along the side, a pale teal-blue back, and a series of dark spots over a creamy white base. This unconventional frame construction is engineered to catch water, producing a swimming motion effective for both casting and trolling on light gear. The hardware consists of a single split ring joined to a bronzed treble hook. This specimen is in excellent shape, with the paint and metal showing very little wear, earning it a condition rating of 5/5.
