Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz yellow UV fishing spoon #19190

Stamped clearly on the reverse with the classic Hood River, Oregon origin, this vintage metal spoon remains a benchmark for casting and trolling designs. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), this Krocodile #3 (Product Code: 19190) is finished in a vibrant Yellow UV color scheme that stands out even in deeper water. The front of the lure features a distinct holographic scale insert with a diamond pattern, designed to reflect light in multiple directions. On the back, the crisp stamping identifies the Luhr Jensen brand and the iconic size #3 designation. All hardware is present, including the durable silver-tone treble hook and a barrel swivel attached to the front split ring. Its condition is remarkably well-preserved, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean finish and legible markings. This specific USA-made model represents the earlier production era of a design that has been targeting trout, salmon, and steelhead for decades.
