Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/3oz fishing spoon #11949

Tipping the scales at a versatile 1/3 oz (9 g), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile features a striking combination of vibrant red paint and a high-flash holographic scale pattern. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the spoon is a classic casting tool built with the heavy-gauge metal body characteristic of the brand. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 11949, showcases a pearl-fishscale center inlay on a red-bordered frame, providing both a distinct silhouette and reflective shimmer. The hardware is remarkably clean, featuring tight split rings, a robust treble hook, and an integrated barrel swivel to manage line twist during retrieves. Its narrow, elongated profile is engineered for distance, facilitating long casts from piers or boats into deeper water columns. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure retains its original factory luster across the painted surfaces and the holographic tape. One side displays a checkered prismatic effect while the reverse offers a smooth, multi-colored holographic sheen to catch light from any angle.
