Fluorescent yellow paint with bold red teardrop accents defines the face of this 1/2oz (14g) spoon. Stamped directly into the brass reverse is the Luhr Jensen name and "Hood River, Ore," grounding this specific Krocodile Die #3, product code 1289, in its Pacific Northwest heritage. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the lure’s construction is notably thicker and narrower than standard spoons to facilitate long-distance casting toward deep-water predatory fish. The hardware includes a sturdy barrel swivel at the nose and a dark-finished treble hook at the tail, both attached with heavy-duty split rings. Rated at a 4/5, the finish remains bright and the brass underside retains a high-quality luster. When retrieved through the water column, the lure produces a steady wobbling motion intended to mimic the behavior of live baitfish.
