A classic rainbow trout pattern—complete with a pink lateral stripe and distinctive black spotting—decorates this narrow, heavy-duty metal body. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile is a staple for anglers targeting trout and salmon. The spoon's finish transitions from a pale cream belly to a soft blue-green along the spine, mimicking the natural forage found in cold-water lakes. This specific specimen, identified by product code 18840, features the original factory-installed swivel and stout treble hook hardware. The vintage blister pack has preserved the lure's condition perfectly, and it remains unused. On the reverse side of the card, the detailed stamping 003-316-314 KRO - TROUT confirms its technical specifications within the Luhr Jensen catalog. Its thick-gauge brass construction provides the density needed to maintain depth while trolling, allowing for the stable wobble described by the manufacturer.
