Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Black fishing spoon #8775

Stamping on the inner convex side marks this as a genuine Luhr Jensen product from the Hood River, Oregon factory. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen features the 'Die #3' stamp and carries a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g), suitable for both casting and trolling applications. The solid black finish provides a distinct silhouette, serving as a specific tactical choice for anglers targeting fish in low-light conditions or stained water. This vintage find, product code 8775, remains in unused condition, earning a rating of 5/5. Factory-rigged hardware includes a silver-tone treble hook secured by a split ring and a barrel swivel at the line tie to mitigate line twist during a retrieve. The heavy, narrow metal body design is built to provide extra distance on a cast while maintaining a steady wobble.
