Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Hammered Gold / Green / Red fishing spoon #7896

Hammered gold texture catching the light is the first thing you notice about this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, a classic casting and trolling spoon. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries Product Code 7896 and was manufactured in the USA. The visual design is punctuated by a neon green border and three circular red spots along the spine. These specific accents are UV-reactive, glowing intensely under ultraviolet light to provide a high-visibility profile in deep or stained water. The hardware is comprised of a sturdy treble hook and a barrel swivel, which helps manage line twist during a steady retrieve. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the finish is well-preserved and the hammered indentations remain sharp. Its thick, narrow construction is specifically tailored for reaching deep water columns where salmon and trout typically hold.
