Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/4oz Frog fishing spoon #3864

Deep forest green paint serves as the foundation for the four yellow and black spots on this vintage Luhr Jensen piece. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length and weighing 1/4oz (7g), this specimen is the Krocodile model, cataloged under product code 3864. The lure is characterized by a thick, narrow metal body designed for casting long distances and reaching deeper sections of the water column where predatory fish often hold. Stamped clearly on the back are the words "LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE" and "USA," signifying its authentic production origin. It comes rigged with original split rings and a treble hook that show light wear, earning a condition rating of 4/5. A nose-mounted barrel swivel is included to help reduce line twist during a retrieve. The "Frog" color pattern provides a distinct mottled look that mimics natural prey in various light conditions. Fine surface marks on the finish indicate its history as a used but well-cared-for tackle box resident.
