Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Yellow / Red / Black fishing spoon #0403

A vibrant split-color finish of yellow and red defines this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, identified by product code 0403. Weighing 1/3oz (10g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the spoon's metal body features a series of high-contrast black dots. This item is in 4/5 condition, exhibiting a well-kept exterior with clear, bright paint. The Krocodile design is notably thicker than standard spoons, a structural choice that allows it to be cast farther and sink faster to reach fish in deeper water columns. It comes rigged with a factory treble hook and a barrel swivel to mitigate line twist during retrieve. The universal teardrop shape is designed to produce a wobble that remains stable across various retrieval speeds, making it a reliable choice for targeting trout, bass, or smaller salmonids.
