Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz Hammered Gold / Orange fishing spoon #15493

A shimmering hammered gold surface divided by a bold orange stripe makes this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 a standout choice for the tackle box. This 1/3oz (10g) spoon is built with a thicker, narrower profile than standard spoons, allowing it to cut through the air during long casts. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the metal body features a stamped reverse indicating its origin in Hood River, OR, under the Luhr Jensen name. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish and sharp hardware. This model, identified by product code 15493, is equipped with a heavy-duty treble hook and a barrel swivel to prevent line twist. During a steady retrieve, the spoon's shape generates a wobbling motion that mimics live prey.
