Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/3oz White / Red / Gold fishing spoon #14297

A distinct red accent stripe runs along the edge of the pearl-white face on this 1/3oz (9g) casting spoon. Stamped clearly on the polished gold-tone reverse side, the Luhr Jensen Krocodile name identifies a piece of tackle that has earned its place in many a veteran's box. This particular specimen, identified by product code 14297, measures 1 1/2" (4cm) and remains in 5/5 condition, showing a clean finish on both the painted and metallic surfaces. The construction features a sturdy split ring setup at both ends, equipped with a barrel swivel for line twist prevention and a sharp treble hook. Known among trout and salmon anglers for its ability to reach deeper water, the Krocodile’s thick-gauge metal body provides substantial heft for its compact size. The contrast between the bright white face and the metallic gold back provides a dual-tone flash during a steady retrieve or while jigging vertically.
