Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 506, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #12846

At exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), the weight of this specific specimen makes it a versatile choice for light-tackle anglers targeting trout or panfish. Identified by product code 12846, this size 506 model features a polished Nickel/Red finish, where the red accent is applied to the signature bent tail section. This specimen is unused, preserving the original factory luster of the metal. The vintage packaging remains intact, displaying a 'Sportmart' pricing sticker and the 'CHRM/SLV P-LITE' color designation on the reverse. Luhr Jensen & Sons, based out of Hood River, Oregon, designed this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) lure to function with the characteristics of both a spinner and a spoon. For trolling applications, the card instructions suggest positioning the lure 30-50 feet (9.1-15.2 m) behind the boat, ideally with an 18” (45.7 cm) leader when used with a lake troll. The hardware is comprised of a single split ring at the line tie and a sharp treble hook at the rear eyelet.
