Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #1634

Hammered Nickel finishes like the one on this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon are legendary for their ability to scatter light and attract predators in varied water clarities. Weighing 1/3oz (9g), the Krocodile Die #3 is engineered with a dense, narrow profile that facilitates long-distance casting even against the wind. Stamped clearly on the concave interior with its "Hood River, Ore." heritage, this Luhr Jensen specimen is identified by product code 1634. The lure is rigged with a robust treble hook and includes a factory snap swivel to manage line twist during a steady retrieve. Its 5/5 condition is evident in the reflective surfaces and the integrity of the original silver-tone hardware. Whether you are targeting staging salmon or working a deep lake for trout, the heavy brass construction ensures it reaches the strike zone efficiently. The deep-stamped model name remains perfectly legible across the polished nickel surface of the spoon's interior curve.
