Polished to a high-reflectivity nickel finish, this specimen represents the classic American-made tackle legacy from the Pacific Northwest. Weighing 1 1/2 oz (42g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm), the Krocodile #5 is a heavy-gauge metal spoon engineered for casting distance and effective use in trolling or stepped-retrieve techniques.

This specific item remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface across its universal shape. It comes rigged with its original split rings and a stout treble hook, designed to maintain its performance during both fast and slow retrieval speeds. For the database curator, this example is identified by Product Code 22397.
