Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz Purple / Black fishing spoon #13572

A striking purple base with black wing-like spots defines the finish of this Luhr Jensen classic. This specific specimen remains in unused condition, rating a 6, preserved in its original vintage carding and assigned product code 1003-014-113. Weighing 1/4 oz (7.1 g), the Krocodile spoon is stamped with its weight directly on the rear of the metal body. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) in length, the lure features a split ring at the head for line attachment and another at the tail connecting a single treble hook. Produced at the Luhr Jensen & Sons factory in Hood River, Oregon, the packaging highlights its versatility for casting, trolling, jigging, or serving as an ice wobbler. The back of the carding still displays the heritage order form for the Luhr Jensen catalog, detailing their historic distribution through both Oregon and Vancouver, B.C. locations.
