Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #5, 1oz Nickel/blue fishing spoon #16708

Nickel-plated surfaces on this 1oz (28g) casting spoon reflect light with the distinct clarity found in earlier Luhr Jensen production runs. On the convex face, a vibrant blue gradient transitions into a polished nickel base, decorated with sharp, dark blue vertical accent patterns. Identifying marks are deeply stamped on the reverse, clearly showing the 'KROCODILE' name and the Hood River, Oregon, origin. This specimen, identified by product code 16708, measures exactly 3" (7.5cm) and provides the density needed for long-distance casting or trolling at controlled depths. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the original treble hook and split rings appearing bright and well-preserved. Every detail of the paint and stamping reflects the rugged build quality associated with the brand's Pacific Northwest roots.
