Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #2156

Glistening with a high-polished Nickel finish, this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon remains a staple for anglers targeting everything from salmon to lake trout. The Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 features a distinct teardrop shape that is synonymous with heavy-duty metal lures designed to cut through the water effectively. Measuring 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm), this specific specimen carries the product code 2156 and remains in unused condition within its original carded blister pack. One of the subtle but effective details on this lure is the small, fluorescent orange flipper tab attached to the rear split ring, providing a localized strike point. Based in Hood River, Oregon, Luhr Jensen built these spoons to be thick enough for long-distance casting yet slim enough to maintain stability during a troll. The hardware is robust, featuring a heavy-duty swivel at the line tie to prevent line twist and a sharp treble hook at the business end. The packaging highlights its utility for varied techniques, specifically casting, trolling, and jigging.
