Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 features the classic thick-walled construction that has made it a staple for anglers targeting trout and salmon. A vibrant red prism tape with a checkered texture is precisely applied to the concave face, creating a flash that complements the reflective nickel plating. Flipping the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon over reveals the deep "KROCODILE" stamp and weight markings, confirming its American manufacturing roots. The hardware is remarkably clean, featuring a stout treble hook and a pre-rigged barrel swivel to help manage line twist during retrieves. Identified as product code 15312, this particular lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, mirror-like luster and perfect tape adhesion. The design’s narrow profile is specifically engineered to cast long distances and reach deeper holding zones where thinner stamped spoons might struggle to stay down.
