Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3, 1/3oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #9502

Gold plating paired with a series of red slashes creates a high-contrast pattern on the convex side of this classic casting spoon. Weighing in at a versatile 1/3oz (10g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the Krocodile Die #3 is a staple for anglers targeting trout, salmon, or even bass. The reverse side features a clear stamp identifying it as a Luhr Jensen original from Hood River, Oregon, specifically associated with the 9502 product code. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a brilliant shine on both the gold face and the hardware. A pre-rigged barrel swivel at the line tie ensures smooth performance during casting or trolling, while the treble hook is equipped with a translucent red plastic flipper to add a secondary point of visual interest. The thickness of the metal construction allows for substantial distance when casting into the wind. All hardware remains tight and free of wear, reflecting the durability inherent in Luhr Jensen's manufacturing history.
