Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Gold / Orange / Rainbow Hologram fishing spoon #12649

A length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) characterizes this specimen, which features a vibrant orange border surrounding a silver holographic fishscale center. The rainbow hologram strip is embossed with a checkerboard pattern meant to catch light even in deeper water columns. Flip the lure to see a solid gold reverse side, bearing the 'KROCODILE' stamp along with 'DIE 3' and 'LUHR JENSEN' marks from the brand's Hood River, OR, USA heritage. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the spoon is built with a narrower and thicker profile than average, aiding in distance casting and generating a consistent wobbling motion during the retrieve. Rigged with a stainless steel barrel swivel and a sharp treble hook, the hardware is secured by sturdy split rings. This specific lure holds a 5/5 condition rating, showing clean reflective surfaces and crisp markings. Product Code 12649 is a classic choice for anglers targeting salmon in the Great Lakes or shore-casting for predators where reaching out over the waves is a necessity.
