Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 Glow, 1/2oz Blue / White Glow fishing spoon #16083

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this vintage casting spoon represents the classic Luhr Jensen era from Hood River, Oregon. The original yellow card highlights its specific design for saltwater fishing, featuring extra strong hooks and welded rings that remain in pristine condition. Presented in its 1960s-era retail packaging, the specimen is unused and demonstrates why these heavy-gauge spoons became staples for distance casting. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure features a striking Blue / White Glow finish that, when viewed in dark conditions, charges up to a vibrant, luminous green. This specific Krocodile #3 Glow, identified by Product Code 16083, is built for those moments when a steady, deep-running retrieve is required to find staging salmon. When retrieved, the thicker and narrower design produces a wobbling motion that mimics live bait. Every element, from the distinct fishscale pattern on the face to the original retail staples on the card, is preserved exactly as it left the factory decades ago.
