Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #14909

Nickel plating across a 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) frame provides a high-flash profile for this heavy casting spoon. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4 is built with a narrow, thick-gauge body meant for reaching significant depths where predatory fish hold. This specimen, carrying Product Code 14909, features a distinctive black gradient on the spine and a holographic prism-scale insert along the center. Hardware includes a vibrant red treble hook and a small red plastic flipper tag, both attached via a heavy-duty split ring. The nose is equipped with a barrel swivel to manage line twist during long-range retrieves. In its current 5/5 condition, the metal remains bright and the scale pattern shows no peeling or fading. The rear split ring is oversized to allow the hook maximum freedom of movement.
