Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 UV, 1/2oz Fire Tiger / Brass fishing spoon #15184

Brass construction provides a substantial weight of 14 g (0.5 oz) in a compact 5.5 cm (2.25 in) frame, making this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 UV a powerhouse for long-distance casting. The Fire Tiger finish on this specimen displays vibrant bands of orange, yellow, and green, all segmented by bold black tiger stripes across the convex surface. Under product code 15184, this specific lure features a UV-active coating designed to enhance visibility in deep water or overcast conditions. The hardware is comprised of a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook, accompanied by the signature red plastic flipper tag used to provide a secondary visual strike point. This particular lure earns a condition rating of 5/5, exhibiting a pristine finish and bright brass on the reverse side. For technical application, the spoon's thick profile allows for casting from piers or jetties where reaching staging fish requires extra mass. Its heavy-gauge metal ensures it stays deep in the water column even during a steady retrieve.
