Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/2oz chrome fishing spoon #18482

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this solid brass spoon represents the classic utility found in Luhr Jensen’s Hood River, Oregon production era. The chrome plating provides a high-visibility finish intended for casting, trolling, or jigging. This particular Krocodile #3, cataloged under product code 18482, remains in its original 1994 retail packaging, which features the distinctive red and yellow card design from that period. With a weight of 1/2oz (14g), the lure is built from solid brass to prevent corrosion. This specimen is unused, preserved in its blister pack for nearly thirty years. The back of the packaging contains historical context for the Luhr Jensen catalog, including the July 1994 date code, and describes the lure's construction as being modeled after a wounded baitfish.
