Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #14343

Hammered Nickel creates a distinct, dimpled texture across the face of this 1/2 oz (14 g) Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, catching and reflecting light to mimic shifting scales. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, its narrow, heavy-gauge construction allows it to reach depths and distances often inaccessible to lighter spoons. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, featuring a bright finish and sharp, legible stampings on the reverse. The back clearly displays the 'LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE' brand name and weight, signifying its USA origin and quality craftsmanship. Equipped with a swivel on the leading split ring to minimize line twist, the hardware is rounded out by a strong treble hook. Known for a steady wobble, this versatile spoon is a favorite for targeting salmon and trout in the Great Lakes and beyond. Registered under Product Code 14343, it represents a classic design that has remained a standard in tackle boxes for decades.
