Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/3oz Gold / Orange / Green fishing spoon #0493

Glistening gold plating serves as the base for a distinctive pattern of neon green and orange dots, accented by a bold orange stripe along the lower edge. This Luhr Jensen Krocodile, identified by product code 0493, showcases the classic thick-bodied profile that anglers rely on when casting distance is paramount. Measuring 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), its narrow shape is designed to slice through the air and settle quickly into the strike zone. The stamped lettering on the reverse side confirms its American heritage, marking it as a genuine piece of USA-made tackle history. Every component, from the front-mounted swivel to the rear treble hook, is securely attached via sturdy split rings. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the polished surface and colorful accents are exceptionally well-preserved. It is a solid addition for anyone looking to round out a collection of West Coast-inspired spoons or for those who still prefer the weight of a traditional metal lure.
