Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, 2/3oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #15104

Stamped with 'DIE #4' on its polished gold-tone reverse, this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4 is a staple for long-distance casting in deep water. The face of the spoon features a deep hammered gold texture, bordered by a distinct fluorescent red painted stripe along one edge. At a weight of 2/3 oz (19 g), the 15104 model is built with a thicker, narrower profile specifically designed to reach staging fish where standard spoons might fall short. On the back, crisp manufacturer markings from the Hood River, Oregon facility identify its professional heritage. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining clean surfaces and original hardware throughout, including the sturdy treble hook. Often utilized for Great Lakes salmon or saltwater pier fishing, the lure's specific shape provides a reliable wobble during a steady retrieval. The original split rings and high-visibility red highlight make this specific variant a classic choice for anglers targeting trout and salmon.
