Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen ​Krocodile #3 Glow (1970s), 1/2oz Glow/Nickel fishing spoon #16496

A luminous Glo/Chartreuse Strip finish defines this 3/8 oz (10.6 g) Luhr Jensen spoon, making it a highly visible target in deep or turbid water. This vintage Krocodile #3 Glow, cataloged under Product Code 16496, features a stamped brass body measuring 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) in length. Produced by Luhr Jensen & Sons in Hood River, Oregon, during the 1970s, the lure is rigged with a robust treble hook and stainless split rings. The original carding, marked with re-order number #1003-038-189, specifies its utility for reaching deep staging salmon or trout through casting and jigging techniques. This specimen is unused and remains sealed in its original blister pack, preserving the integrity of the factory finish and hardware. Heavy-gauge metal construction ensures the lure sinks efficiently through the water column to reach the strike zone.
