Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen TEE Spoon, 1/4oz Nickel / Red spinning lure #2078

Stamped clearly on the nickel-finished blade, the TEE SPOON name identifies this classic spinner-style lure from the Luhr Jensen lineup. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the construction features a series of translucent red and pink body components that provide a distinct visual contrast to the metallic flash of the spoon. This specific specimen, bearing product code 2078, remains unused and is still housed in its original vintage carded packaging. The hardware is comprised of a sharp treble hook and an integrated crane swivel at the head of the wire shaft to manage line twist during a retrieve. Reflecting the brand's Pacific Northwest heritage, the packaging lists the historic Hood River, Oregon, and Vancouver, B.C. addresses, dating this piece to the era before the company's 2004 production changes. The lure and its components have been preserved in their original factory state inside the clear plastic bubble.
