Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/3oz fishing spoon #18888

Five high-contrast yellow circles with dark centers stand out against a forest green background on this classic metal spoon. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the Luhr Jensen Krocodile is a dense, heavy-gauge lure designed for distance casting and reaching deeper water columns. This specimen is identified by product code 18888 and remains in its original vintage bubble packaging, which lists the manufacturer's historic locations in Hood River, Oregon, and Vancouver, B.C. As it is still factory-sealed, the lure is unused and exhibits no wear on its painted surface or metal hardware. The rigging includes a quality barrel swivel at the nose to mitigate line twist and a sturdy treble hook at the tail. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the spoon's narrow profile is a hallmark of the Luhr Jensen line, engineered to maintain a stable path when retrieved or trolled through current. The card features the legacy Luhr Jensen logo and the original barcode, marking it as a well-preserved piece of Pacific Northwest angling history.
