Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Yellow / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #4905

A vibrant green and yellow hexagonal scale pattern catches the light on this 1/3 oz (10 g) Luhr Jensen Krocodile. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this specimen features the stamped nickel back that marks it as an authentic Luhr Jensen production from their Oregon heritage. The "KROCODILE" name is deeply embossed on the polished metal side, a detail collectors use to identify this specific spoon profile. This Die #3 lure, identified by product code 4905, includes its original rigging with a sharp treble hook and a smooth-turning barrel swivel. The nickel interior is clean and bright, providing a strong flash against the well-preserved paint on the convex side. It is a solid choice for anglers targeting trout or salmon through casting and trolling techniques. The condition is 5/5, as both the painted scales and the metallic finish are remarkably well-maintained.
