Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/3oz Brass fishing spoon #2899

Brass tones provide the foundation for this 1/3 oz (9 g) spoon, a size that anglers frequently turn to when casting distance is a priority. This 1 1/2" (4 cm) Krocodile, carrying product code 2899, features a distinctive series of reddish-orange paint dabs across its metallic surface. These accents add a layer of visual contrast to the stamped metal body, which remains in well-preserved shape with a condition rating of 4/5. The Luhr Jensen hallmark is clearly pressed into the reverse side, ensuring its pedigree for any collector or weekend caster. It comes equipped with a barrel swivel at the line tie and a sturdy treble hook, both of which are standard for this heavy-gauge casting design. Whether you are aiming for trout or looking for a compact profile for river salmon, this brass specimen offers the durability typical of Luhr Jensen’s manufacturing history. The stamped lettering on the back remains deep and legible, showing only the lightest signs of handling.
