Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #15715

Stamped clearly on the reverse, the "DIE #3" designation marks this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 as a precision-tooled piece of Northwest fishing history. At 1/3oz (10g) and 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the nickel-plated body offers a slim profile that serves anglers well when a dense, compact presentation is needed for casting or trolling. The hardware on this item, listed under product code 15715, includes a factory-installed barrel swivel and a sharp treble hook attached by a durable split ring. The high-polish nickel finish remains vibrant and reflective across the entire surface of the spoon, mimicking the flash of forage fish. This particular specimen is in top-tier condition, rated 5/5. Produced at the Hood River, Oregon facility, the heavy-gauge metal construction provides enough heft to maintain depth during a steady retrieve.
