Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/2oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #20872

Carrying a solid 1/2 oz (14 g) weight, this spoon is balanced for long-distance casting and maintaining depth during a steady retrieve. The polished nickel finish on the convex side is accented by a sharp blue stripe along one edge, a configuration known for providing high-contrast visibility in various water clarities. On the concave reverse, the Krocodile name and Luhr Jensen manufacturer mark are deeply stamped, confirming its origin and model identity. This specimen, assigned product code 20872, is equipped with a sharp treble hook and a integrated nose swivel to help manage line twist. It remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright reflective surface and well-maintained hardware throughout.
