Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Nickel / Golden Hologram fishing spoon #5643

HOOD RIVER, ORE. stamped into the back of the nickel body highlights the classic manufacturing roots of this Luhr Jensen spoon. A vibrant Golden Hologram tape with a distinct honeycomb pattern covers the front, designed to catch light effectively as it moves through the water. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the narrow, heavy-gauge construction of this Die #3 model makes it well-suited for long-distance casting or maintaining depth while trolling. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure is rigged with a robust treble hook and a barrel swivel, both connected by strong split rings. The quality is visible in the deeply embossed lettering on the reverse side, identifying the specific die used for production. The condition is rated 5/5, with a bright nickel finish on the back and the golden foil on the front remaining fully intact. It’s a well-preserved piece of hardware from the product code 5643 series.
