Stamped with the iconic 'KROCODILE' logo on its polished silver underside, this 1/2oz (14g) spoon showcases a classic American-made build. The heavy, narrow profile measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm), a design choice by Luhr Jensen that facilitates long-distance casting into headwinds. This specific specimen features a high-visibility finish consisting of a split yellow and orange-red body punctuated by bold black spots. Identified by product code 0450, the lure comes rigged with its original hardware, including a barrel swivel at the nose and a sharp treble hook at the tail. The condition is a well-preserved 4/5, with the paint retainment being quite high and the metal stampings remaining crisp. Because of the weight distribution, it is highly effective for casting from piers or trolling at depth where smaller, lighter spoons might struggle to maintain position.
