Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #2055

A striking blue stripe runs along the edge of this Nickel-finished spoon, providing a sharp contrast against the polished metal body. Luhr Jensen manufactured this Krocodile model, cataloged under product code 2055, for a variety of environments ranging from alpine lakes to coastal jetties. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the spoon is built with a narrow, thick profile that assists with distance during a cast. It comes equipped with a distinctive red plastic attractor flipper attached to the rear split ring, positioned right next to the treble hook to serve as a visual trigger. The design is intended for casting, trolling, or jigging, reflecting the brand's heritage from Hood River, Oregon. This specimen is unused, still sealed in its original retail blister pack which has protected the nickel plating and the integrity of the blue paint. The back of the card provides historical context for the brand and confirms its suitability for various water conditions.
