Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 Glow, 1/2oz fishing spoon #8771

Measuring a compact 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this heavy-gauge spoon packs considerable mass for its size at 1/2oz (14g). This Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 Glow, identified by product code 8771, features a textured pearl-white finish accented by a bold green stripe along one edge. Under low-light conditions, that stripe comes alive with a luminous green glow, a feature highly sought after by Great Lakes salmon anglers targeting staging fish in the low light of dawn and dusk. The construction is noticeably thicker and narrower than a standard fluttering spoon, allowing it to cut through wind during long distance casts from jetties or piers. It comes equipped with sturdy hardware, including a strong treble hook and heavy-duty split rings designed to handle the torque of larger predatory species. This specific specimen is in unused condition, rating a 5/5. The design is intended for versatility across various techniques, performing with a stable wobble whether used for casting, trolling, or a vertical jigging presentation.
