Red prismatic scale patterns provide a striking contrast against the polished nickel finish on this specific casting spoon. Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #5 (Product Code 23160) features a substantial body measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length. The reverse side of the thick metal blank is deeply stamped with the "KROCODILE" brand and "LUHR JENSEN HOOD RIVER, ORE." marks, reflecting its American manufacturing heritage. This specimen is presented in a 5/5 condition, showing a bright, reflective surface on both the nickel plating and the textured red inlay. Designed for heavy-duty applications, the spoon is rigged with a stout metal treble hook secured by a split ring. The narrow, elongated shape is intended for efficient casting into headwinds or reaching depth while trolling.
