Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 3/4oz fishing spoon #1515

A polished chrome finish highlights the clean, sleek lines of this Luhr Jensen casting spoon. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), the Krocodile is engineered with a thicker metal body compared to traditional thin-bladed spoons, allowing for long-distance casting even into a stiff headwind. This specific specimen, bearing product code 1515, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and remains in unused condition. The concave side features crisp, deep factory stamps identifying the brand and model, a hallmark of these classic US-made lures. The hardware remains original and bright, consisting of a sturdy treble hook and a pre-rigged barrel swivel at the nose to mitigate line twist. Because this is an unused lure (Condition: 6), the metal surface retains its original mirror-like reflectivity. The lure's distinct shape is designed to produce a steady wobbling motion during various retrieve speeds, making it a versatile tool for both freshwater salmon and various saltwater gamefish.
