Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #12435

Deeply stamped into the concave nickel surface, the 'KROCODILE DIE #3' mark identifies this classic casting spoon from Luhr Jensen. Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this lure features a distinctive Nickel / Blue finish where a clean metallic face is accented by a deep blue stripe along one edge. This specific specimen, identified by product code 12435, is unused and retains its original factory luster. The hardware setup is traditional for this Hood River, Oregon-born design, utilizing a barrel swivel attached via a split ring at the nose and a sharp treble hook at the rear. Its narrow, heavy-gauge body is built for long-distance casting and effective trolling. The 5/5 rating indicates a well-preserved item with all stamped brand details and manufacturing locations remaining perfectly legible.
