Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Super-Duper 509, 2/5oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #8413

Stamped clearly into the polished nickel finish, the 'South Bend SUPER-DUPER 509' mark identifies this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) metal classic. This Luhr Jensen production, cataloged under product code 8413, features the iconic folded U-shape design that provides a distinct silhouette for casting or trolling. The outer body presents a reflective nickel surface, while the interior is finished in a bold red, creating a high-contrast visual profile. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure is equipped with a sharp treble hook secured at the base of the bend. On the tail end, you can spot the 'PAT. PEND.' engraving along with the factory hole for line attachment. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, showing well-preserved metal surfaces and minor, authentic paint wear on the red inner coating that highlights its vintage history.
