Stamped clearly into the convex side of the polished brass-colored metal is the "Krocodile" name, identifying its origin from the Luhr Jensen factory in Hood River, Oregon. This Die #3 model carries a weight of 1/2oz (14g) and a length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm), making it a versatile choice for anglers targeting species like lake trout and salmon. The gold finish on this specimen, categorized under product code 8774, remains in 5/5 condition, retaining its original high-luster shine. Its construction features a thick-gauge metal body designed for distance casting, paired with a barrel swivel at the head to manage line torque and a sharp treble hook at the tail. The stamped "Die #3" mark indicates the specific mold used for this classic narrow-profile spoon, a detail often noted by collectors of vintage Luhr Jensen tackle. Sturdy split rings connect the hardware, ensuring the lure is ready for the rigors of casting or trolling.
