Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 3/16oz Trout / Brass fishing spoon #1065

Stamped clearly into the brass backing, the manufacturer’s mark identifies this Luhr Jensen Krocodile as a staple for those targeting predatory fish. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, the spoon displays a Trout pattern on its face, characterized by a soft grey-gold base, fine red and brown spotting, and a subtle orange accent along the top edge. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the thick-gauge metal construction is designed for casting efficiency and reaching targeted depths during a retrieve or while trolling. The hardware is in excellent shape, including silver-finished split rings, a treble hook, and a barrel swivel for line management at the head. This specimen, assigned product code 1065, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a high-shine brass finish on the reverse that highlights the crisp "KROCODILE" and "LUHR JENSEN" lettering.
