Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile , 1oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #1509

Gleaming nickel plating defines the body of this heavy-duty casting spoon, accented by a bold fluorescent red stripe along a single edge. Flip the lure over, and the stamped "LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE USA" lettering remains sharp and clear against the polished metal. Heavy-duty split rings secure a stout treble hook and a smooth-turning barrel swivel, ensuring this 1oz (28g) piece of hardware is equipped for heavy lake or coastal duty. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm), the thickness of the 1509 model is tailored for cutting through the wind and reaching deep staging areas where predatory fish hold. This specimen is unused, showcasing a pristine factory finish with no signs of environmental exposure. Luhr Jensen engineered this specific narrow profile to mimic substantial forage like alewives or herring during casting or trolling. The hardware remains tight, and the vibrant side-stripe provides a distinct visual strike point against the high-flash body.
