Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile , 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #2047

A hammered fishscale texture catches the light across the nickel-plated surface of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) Luhr Jensen Krocodile spoon. Coming from the legacy of Hood River, Oregon, this 1/3 oz (9 g) specimen—identified by product code 2047 and SKU 1003-316-0150—remains in its original retail blister pack dating back to late 2005. The lure is unused, maintaining its factory finish and treble hook accented by a small red attractor tab. Designed with a thick, narrow profile for reaching distance on the cast, it is a staple for targeting staging salmon in the Great Lakes. The packaging confirms its domestic manufacturing heritage with the "Made in USA" stamp clearly visible on the reverse. Anglers rely on this specific shape to produce a distinct wobbling motion during a moderate retrieve. This particular nickel finish is often considered a reliable choice for reaching fish at depth.
