Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 UV, 1/3oz Pink / Gold fishing spoon #4471

Stamped clearly into the brass-toned backside are the Luhr Jensen name and its Hood River, Oregon roots, marking this as a classic piece of American tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), this Die #3 specimen carries the Pink/Gold fluorescent finish, featuring a reddish-orange base with yellow sickle-shaped accents. The paint shows some light chips along the edges where the metal is exposed, earning it a solid 4/5 condition rating. Designed for versatility in casting or trolling, the UV-reactive coating is intended for increased visibility in deeper or stained water. The hardware, including the heavy-duty swivel and split rings, remains sturdy and ready for use. On the reverse, the '7 DIE 4S' and brand markings are deeply embossed, a hallmark of the manufacturing process for these iconic spoons. This specific product code 4471 features a treble hook and a pre-rigged barrel swivel to manage line twist.
