Old spoon id

[tortuga]

This is a Luhr Jensen spoon. Does anyone know what it is and how old it is?

DOn't know anything about them, but I inherited 4 of them as well. I have them with different stripe colours, (Red, Green, and Blue) I have used them but with no real success. I think they might be real good for winter springs as they have a real "needlefish" look to them.

I think we all own some of them. What ever they are........

Going to give it a try soon anyways.
Didn't know everbody had one.

I know there not , but , they do look alot like Silver Hordes " Coho Killers "

my bet would be, good for winters as well...

It's the same shape for sure. Is that a Luhr Jensen?

It's a "Coho Killer"....but those kind are made from heavier gauge metal than Silver Horde and they don't bend and get messed up as easy.

I have a couple of them......but I didn't know they came with the flipper tail originally.

They work good on winter springs when the needlefish are around.

I have some with red plastic spinner thingys on the back instead of a blade.

For sure, it is an old, and original " coho killer " they were certainly heavier metal and worked well.

Krippled Minnow I do believe ... ...... days gone by. Used to see tons of them 30 or so years ago from the wholesalers.

My experience with the old style Coho Killer is that it caught more fisherman than it caught fish and that is why so many of us still have a few in our tackle boxes. I dragged one of those around a great deal in the seventies and it never really produced which is why they were delegated to the back of the box in the first place.
