Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Hammered Gold / Orange fishing spoon #7824

Hammered gold and orange finishes on this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 provide a classic visual profile that has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), this spoon is designed with a thickness that aids in achieving significant distance during a cast. The back of the lure is stamped with the manufacturer's Hood River, Oregon origin, confirming its heritage as a piece of American-made fishing history. Identified by product code 7824, the hardware is securely attached with heavy-duty split rings, including a nose swivel to manage line twist and a sharp treble hook at the tail. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of wear on the painted or stamped surfaces. The weight distribution and curved body are engineered for stability during a steady retrieve or a troll.
