Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #7029

Hammered gold texture on the convex side of this specimen provides a classic look that has been a staple for anglers for decades. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Krocodile Die #3, product code 7029, features the signature thick-metal construction that Luhr Jensen became famous for in Hood River, Oregon. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, showing the clear stampings on the smooth underside which list the manufacturer and the "Die #3" designation. The heavy-duty hardware includes a top-mounted swivel to prevent line twist and a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring. Often utilized for casting or trolling, the narrow profile of the Krocodile is designed to cut through the water efficiently while maintaining its depth. The rear of the spoon is stamped with the classic "KROCODILE" branding, a name synonymous with versatility across both freshwater and saltwater environments.
