Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, 2/3oz Hammered Nickel / Red fishing spoon #15225

Stamped clearly into the smooth nickel reverse side are the Hood River, Oregon origins of this Luhr Jensen classic. The front face features a hammered texture designed to catch and reflect light, accented by a bold fluorescent red stripe along the outer edge. Weighing 2/3oz (19g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), this #4 model is heavy enough for long-distance casting even in windy conditions. The metal body is paired with a sharp treble hook and sturdy split rings, all appearing in a well-preserved 5/5 condition. Known among anglers for its signature wobble, this specimen features the DIE #4 mark on the back, confirming its specific mold and weight class. The high-polish finish on the back remains clean and bright, ready for either the collector's cabinet or the tackle box.
