Stamping on the reverse of this heavy-gauge metal spoon identifies its origin in Hood River, Oregon, marking it as a genuine piece of Luhr Jensen history. This Krocodile #3, designated as product code 14876, showcases a Nickel/Hologram finish favored by anglers when light penetration is key in the water column. With a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure's construction is noticeably thicker than standard spoons, a design choice intended to aid in distance casting from the shore or pier. A holographic fishscale pattern sticker is carefully applied to the convex face, while the concave back remains polished nickel with the "DIE #3" stamp clearly visible. The hardware consists of a quality barrel swivel at the head and a sturdy treble hook at the tail, both attached with heavy-duty split rings. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use or wear on its reflective surfaces. The narrow profile and balanced weight make it an efficient choice for both casting and trolling applications.
