Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon, 1/3oz Nickel spinning lure #15890

Three tiered, translucent red plastic cones define the body of this vintage specimen, which remained a Luhr Jensen staple until its discontinuation in 2004. Measuring 4" (10 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure features a high-visibility design aimed at attracting fish in varied lighting conditions. The polished Nickel blade is stamped with the manufacturer's logo, providing a bright reflective surface paired with a top-mounted swivel to manage line torque. Under UV light, the red segments exhibit a distinct glow, a technical detail intended to maintain a visual presence in deeper water columns. This American-made lure, identified by product code 15890, remains in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5, showing clear plastic components and a clean metallic finish on the treble hook and blade.
