Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #0426

A striking green prismatic tape covers the front of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) nickel spoon, catching light at every angle. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, identified by product code 0426, is engineered for the long-distance casting necessary to reach deep-staging fish. The reverse side features the classic embossed "KROCODILE" name along with its USA origin and size stamp indicating it was crafted in Hood River, Oregon. This specific specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, with the hardware and the green scale-patterned tape appearing remarkably fresh. Outfitted with a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, the 0426 model is built to handle the heavy strikes of predatory species. Its narrow, weighted profile allows it to cut through wind and reach depths more efficiently than standard thin-metal spoons.
