Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #17515

Hammered gold texture across the front face of this 1/2oz (14g) spoon ensures high visibility by catching light from multiple angles even in deeper columns. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #4 is a vintage staple stamped with the iconic brand and "Die #4" markings from its manufacturing roots in Hood River, Oregon. Anglers often turn to this specific Product Code 17515 for its distinct thickness, which facilitates reaching depth quickly during a retrieve. The finish on this specimen is remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Equipped with original sturdy hardware and a treble hook, the lure is built for the rigors of targeting predatory species like salmon or trout. Its teardrop silhouette creates a steady wobble during casting or trolling, a hallmark characteristic of the Krocodile line that has remained a favorite in tackle boxes for decades.
