Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz Gold/Frog fishing spoon #16958

The frog pattern on the convex side features vibrant yellow spots with dark centers against a deep green backdrop. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), this spoon is built with the characteristic thickness that Luhr Jensen fans rely on for long-distance casting and reaching depth quickly. Stamped clearly on the brass-toned reverse, the text identifies this as a "DIE #3" manufactured in Hood River, Oregon, under the Krocodile name. The finish shows soft signs of use from previous trips to the water, resulting in a solid 4/5 condition rating. It comes rigged with a heavy-duty split ring and a barrel swivel to manage line twist, while the sharp treble hook on the tail remains ready for the strike. This specific weight and profile make it a versatile choice for both casting into river currents or trolling for trout and salmon.
