Stamped with the iconic "KROCODILE" name on its polished nickel backside, this specimen represents a classic in the heavy casting spoon category. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this size #3 lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), offering a dense profile designed for reaching significant distances and depth. The front face features a classic Rainbow Trout pattern, characterized by a soft pink lateral stripe and distinct black spotting over a pearlescent white base. Collectors will appreciate the crispness of the stamping on the rear, which also notes the Luhr Jensen heritage and "Genuine Krocodile" status. The hardware consists of sturdy split rings connecting a barrel swivel at the head and a sharp, clean treble hook at the tail. Identified by Product Code 13727, this lure maintains a condition rating of 5/5, showing the high-quality finish typical of vintage Luhr Jensen production. Its thick, narrow construction allows it to stay deep in the water column even during a steady retrieve.
