Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #10297

Green paint covers exactly half the length of this slender spoon, contrasting sharply with the polished nickel finish on the other side. This Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, identified by product code 10297, remains a favorite for anglers who need to reach depth when casting or trolling for salmon. The reverse side features the crisp, classic stamping of the Krocodile logo alongside its Hood River, Oregon, heritage. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), its thicker-gauge metal construction allows it to sink and hold its depth more efficiently than thinner, standard spoons. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a brilliant mirror-like reflection on the nickel and a vibrant, intact color coat. It comes equipped with a heavy-duty treble hook and a factory-rigged barrel swivel designed to manage line twist.
