Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/2oz nickel/hologram fishing spoon #21035

Stamped clearly into the polished metal back are the words "Krocodile," "Luhr Jensen," and their historic "Hood River, Ore" location, marking this as a classic piece of American tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this model #3 spoon is built with a substantial thickness that aids in distance casting. The front surface features a vibrant nickel/hologram finish, utilizing a geometric prism pattern to catch and reflect light from various angles. Identified by product code 21035, this specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality plating typical of Luhr Jensen's earlier production eras. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring and a factory-original barrel swivel on the nose to manage line twist. Designed for versatility, this lure is a staple for both casting and light trolling techniques in fresh or saltwater.
