Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Hammered Brass fishing spoon #3125

Hammered brass gives this Luhr Jensen spoon a distinctive textured flash that sets it apart from standard smooth finishes. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the Krocodile Die #3 is designed with a narrow, heavy profile intended for achieving long-distance casts. This specimen, identified by Product Code 3125, bears the classic stamping on the underside: "KROCODILE DIE #3 LUHR JENSEN HOOD RIVER, ORE." The lure's hardware includes a sturdy split ring paired with a sharp treble hook. Rated in 5/5 condition, the brass shows a deep luster and the stamping remains crisp. Anglers often select this model for jetty or pier fishing where reaching staging fish in deeper water is required. The specific weight distribution facilitates a stable flight path during the cast, while the body shape generates a consistent wobble upon retrieval.
