Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #5 Glow, 1oz White / Red fishing spoon #13921

A striking red stripe runs along the edge of this 1 oz (25 g) metal spoon, providing a sharp contrast against the creamy white body. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm), the Luhr Jensen Krocodile #5 Glow is built for reaching depths where sunlight rarely penetrates. This particular specimen, identified by Product Code 13921, features a luminescent finish that glows bright green in the dark, which is a vital tool for salmon or trout anglers working deep water. The hardware remains strong and functional, with a barrel swivel at the head to manage line rotation and a sturdy treble hook at the tail. The finish shows a few signs of use, reflecting its history on the water, yet it remains in a respectable 4/5 condition. Its dense construction and narrow profile are hallmarks of the Krocodile design, allowing for long-distance casting even when facing a stiff lake breeze. The weight distribution is centered to facilitate a steady descent toward the strike zone.
