Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 506, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #23375

A distinctive checkered pattern runs along the gold-finished exterior of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) classic. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 506 features the famous "U" shaped bent-metal construction that is synonymous with light-tackle trout and bass fishing. One end of the lure is dipped in a solid red finish, providing a sharp visual contrast to the polished gold body. On the inner curve of the metal, the stamping and Patent Number 2,759,318 are clearly visible, marking its American heritage. The lure is rigged with a gold-tone split ring and a sharp treble hook, while the nose end holds a wire snap for immediate use. Designed for both casting and trolling, this specimen is particularly well-suited for targeting panfish in local waters. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright and well-preserved finish across its entire surface. Identified by product code 23375, this USA-made lure remains a staple for collectors and anglers alike.
