Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #16048

Nickel plating on this 1/2oz (14g) spoon provides a high-flash mirror finish that remains exceptionally clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4 carries the Product Code 16048 and is built for distance casting and reaching depth quickly. The hardware includes a secondary 'flipper' blade attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook, intended to provide extra flash. On the concave interior, the metal is clearly stamped with the name 'K.O. WOBBLER,' which makes for an interesting collector variation for this specific specimen. The heavy-gauge metal body is designed for a steady descent and maintains its orientation during both casting and trolling applications. Both the nose and tail split rings are securely fastened, with the treble hook retaining sharp points and a clean finish. This nickel finish is a classic choice for clear water, reflecting ambient light effectively at various depths.
