Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this specimen features the classic deep, narrow profile that defines the Krocodile lineage. The sleek Black finish gives it a subtle, dark silhouette in the water, a departure from the high-flash chrome often seen in these models. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the stamped metal body is identified as a Krocodile Die #3, a size that balances long-distance casting with a profile suitable for various predator species. It comes equipped with heavy-duty split rings and a sharp treble hook, showing no signs of use. This piece is in 5/5 condition, appearing unused with its original factory finish fully intact. Stamped clearly on the reverse is the Luhr Jensen branding alongside its Hood River, Oregon heritage, a hallmark of vintage American-made tackle. This specific model, product code 8769, utilizes a thicker metal construction designed to reach greater depths and maintain stability during high-speed retrieves or long casts from jetties. The stamped lettering remains crisp and deep across the spoon’s belly, showing the quality of the original die.
