Stamped with the iconic "KROCODILE" branding and the Luhr Jensen Hood River, Oregon origin, the back of this spoon reveals its vintage pedigree. At 1/2oz (14 g), the heavy-gauge metal construction of this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) lure makes it a specialized tool for reaching depth or punching through a stiff wind. The face features a classic hammered gold finish that catches light from multiple angles, while the underside is finished in a bold, high-visibility orange. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 15399, is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface and sharp factory stampings. The hardware is equally solid, featuring a durable treble hook paired with a classic red plastic attractor tag and a high-quality barrel swivel on the nose. Anglers often turn to this design for casting from piers or trolling at moderate speeds where a steady wobble is preferred. The "Die #4" marking ensures the precise taper and weight distribution collectors look for in these older Oregon-made pieces.
