Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz trout fishing spoon #22833

Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the trout pattern on this classic metal spoon highlights the distinct aesthetic of Luhr Jensen’s early Oregon-made tackle. The front face transitions through a gradient of aqua-blue and soft pink before reaching a bronze bottom edge, all punctuated by a series of bold black spots. Identified as product code 22833, the reverse side features a crisp stamp indicating 'Krocodile Die #3' and the brand's heritage in Hood River, Ore. At a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g), the construction remains solid, featuring its original barrel swivel and a sharp treble hook. This specimen is presented in 5/5 condition, with the factory paint and silver backing remaining bright and well-preserved.
