Fishing Lures

Luhr Jenson Company Display Board

Board # 23

Stock # 6403-6413

Item # 009-649-000

Date Issued 5/23/89

It measures about 21-3/4\" X 15-1/2\" with wood back & frame. The lures are set into a clear coat resin tabletop / bar finish. This board was presented to my late husbands wholesale tackle company in Okeechobee, Fl. in 1989. In very good condition. Great Christmas gift for any tackle collector & an item that will only increase in value with time.

According to the Hood River business news on Feb 1/2006:

This 74- year-old Hood River company will be but a memory, too. In a blow to Hood River’s improving economy — and, to a certain extent, its pride — Jensen last fall sold his fishing-lure business and its brand names to the world’s leading luremaker, the Finnish company Rapala, which in June will start making Luhr Jensen lures in a four-story concrete factory in southern China.

Hood River will lose about 140 jobs, roughly one-tenth of the region’s manufacturing positions and the most layoffs by any local company since Golden Northwest Aluminum shuttered two smelters in 2001. For the first time since 1932, when a 45-year-old angler started handstamping metal lures in a backyard chicken coop, a brand synonymous with Hood River will no longer be produced here.

Instead, he will let another company move jobs to China and continue a trend that has swept through the U.S. fishing-tackle industry over the past 15 years, according to the American Sportfishing Association. Jensen gets worked up over the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China — he calls it “a national disaster” — and over the federal excise tax on fishing equipment, which he says is applied in a way that unfairly disadvantages domestic manufacturers
