Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 3/4oz Hammered Copper / Red fishing spoon #1535

Hammered copper textures the top surface of this 3 1/4" (8.5cm) spoon, providing a multifaceted flash that contrasts with the solid red underbelly. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), this heavy-gauge piece is a staple for anglers needing to reach deep-holding salmon or trout where lighter lures fail to penetrate. The reverse side is clearly stamped with the Luhr Jensen name and the Krocodile branding, reflecting its American manufacturing heritage. This unused specimen, identified by product code 1535, retains its original factory luster despite the packaging showing signs of long-term storage. Its construction features a durable treble hook and an integrated front barrel swivel designed to manage line twist during casting or trolling. The narrow, thick profile of the brass body allows it to maintain stability in heavy current while sinking quickly through the water column.
