Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 506, 1/4oz nickel/red fishing spoon #23410

Nickel and red finishes define the aesthetic of this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) specimen, which features a distinct "U" shaped bend designed for effective water displacement. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 506 includes a textured prism tape on its outer side to maximize flash during retrieval. On the inner curve, the original U.S. Patent No. 2,713,227 stamp remains sharp, nodding to its mid-century American design roots. A bronze-finished treble hook provides the terminal hardware, while a small snap at the front eyelet makes it ready for casting or trolling on light line. This particular lure is rated 5/5, showing a very clean body with well-preserved plated surfaces and crisp paint. Collectors often look for these specific Luhr Jensen markings as a sign of authenticity for this versatile tool, traditionally used to target trout, bass, and panfish.
