Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #5, 1oz mackerel fishing spoon #21294

Finished in a classic mackerel pattern, this 1oz (28g) Luhr Jensen spoon measures 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length. The Krocodile #5 is a heavy-gauge lure stamped clearly on its chrome backside with the manufacturer's name and its Hood River, Oregon origin. This specific item, identified by product code 21294, serves as a versatile tool for anglers targeting salmon, steelhead, or saltwater predators through casting or trolling. The painted surface displays distinctive green bars over a silver base, showing light signs of handling and rating a 4/5 for condition. It retains its original hardware, including the treble hook and split rings. The thick metal construction is characteristic of the durable USA-made manufacturing that established Luhr Jensen as a premier name in tackle history.
