Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Weedless Silver Spoon UV, 3/5oz Fire Tiger / Silver fishing spoon #5796

Fire Tiger patterning over a silver base defines the finish on this Luhr Jensen Weedless Silver Spoon UV, making it a highly visible choice for stained water conditions. Tipping the scales at 3/5oz (17g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this spoon is designed specifically for casting into heavy cover where standard lures might snag. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen carries the product code 5796 and is identified by the manufacturer SKU 1261-034-0979 on the card back. The lure remains unused in its original vintage bubble packaging, showing it in pristine condition. Anglers will notice the classic weedless wire guard protecting the single hook, a design meant for navigating lily pads and submerged timber. The "UV" designation indicates the paint is treated to react under ultraviolet light, providing an extra visual element beneath the surface. The packaging proudly features the "Put a 'Silver Spoon' in Their Mouth!" slogan, a hallmark of Luhr Jensen’s marketing from this era.
