Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz brass/red/yellow UV fishing spoon #22832

Stamped clearly into the brass underside, the "DIE #3" and Hood River, Oregon markings anchor this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 to its Pacific Northwest roots. This 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon features a high-visibility yellow UV finish on its face, punctuated by bright red teardrop accents. With a weight of 1/3oz (9g), the solid metal body is designed for casting and trolling applications where density and profile are key. The hardware setup includes a front-mounted barrel swivel to prevent line twist and a treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. Identified by product code 22832, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, exhibiting a light character that speaks to its age while remaining a functional piece of tackle. The reflective brass backing provides a natural flash that complements the fluorescent top coating in deeper water.
