Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/2oz Trout / Nickel fishing spoon #2729

Stamped clearly into the polished nickel reverse, the 'KROCODILE' branding confirms this is a genuine Luhr Jensen classic. The front side showcases a Trout pattern, where a soft pink and blue gradient transitions into a silver base, punctuated by clean black dots. Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Die #3 model offers the density required for long-distance casting from jetties or piers. A bright orange plastic flipper tail is mounted on the rear split ring near the treble hook, adding a splash of color to the nickel-plated hardware. This specific specimen maintains its original factory shine and is rated at 5/5 condition. Identifying this piece is straightforward thanks to the product code 2729. The narrow, thick profile of the metal body reflects the traditional Luhr Jensen design philosophy intended for targeting staging salmon and other large predators.
