Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #12315

Stamping the brand name directly into the metal, Luhr Jensen identifies this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) spoon as the iconic "KROCODILE" model. The gold finish on this 1/4 oz (7 g) lure provides a high-visibility profile, ideal for cutting through murky water or catching deep-penetrating sunlight. Carrying product code 12315, the construction features a thick-gauge, narrow body designed for superior casting distance and rapid sinking. On the hardware side, a barrel swivel is pre-attached to the nose split ring to prevent line twist, while a silver-finished treble hook sits at the tail. The condition of this specimen is 5/5, showing a clean, reflective surface and sharp, legible stamping on the convex side. Anglers frequently utilize this specific weight and shape for both casting and trolling across various freshwater and saltwater environments. The split ring attachments ensure the hardware retains full range of motion throughout the retrieve.
