Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7312

Nickel and red accents define the visual profile of this 1/4oz (7g) casting spoon, a design that has earned its place in many a salmon and trout angler's vest. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, this specific specimen, bearing product code 7312, features the classic Luhr Jensen pattern of red paint applied over a mirror-polished finish. Flipping it over reveals the unmistakable "LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE" stamp deeply impressed into the metal, a hallmark of the brand's production history. The lure's narrow, thick-waisted geometry is specifically engineered for long-distance casting from shore or boat, designed to cut through wind and reach depth. This particular piece is unused, maintaining the clean reflective quality of its nickel plating across both the convex and concave surfaces. The hardware remains original, including the factory-installed barrel swivel at the head and a standard treble hook at the tail.
