Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Tony Accetta 7, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #17108

Polished nickel finishes on spoons like this specimen were designed for maximum flash, mimicking the silver scales of baitfish. Stamped clearly with the TONY ACCETTA 7 hallmark, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) metal lure represents a quintessential American design often utilized for both casting and trolling. It features a robust split ring at the line tie and a large treble hook, which currently retains its protective plastic tubing on the points to keep the steel sharp. Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), the dense construction allows for significant distance when throwing into the wind or reaching deeper zones. This piece carries a 5/5 condition rating, appearing virtually as it did when it left the USA factory, with its reflective surface perfectly preserved. This model, recognized by product code 17108, reflects the legacy of Luhr Jensen’s acquisition of the Accetta line while maintaining the original heavy-gauge metal specifications.
