Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 UV, 1/3oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #7468

Stamped clearly into the yellow metal on the reverse side is the "Hood River, Ore." mark, identifying this Luhr Jensen classic as a genuine piece of American tackle history. This 1/3 oz (10 g) Krocodile Die #3 UV, identified by product code 7468, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and features a distinctive heavy-gauge brass body. The face is decorated with a silver holographic diamond-scale tape, set against a bright, fluorescent chartreuse border. Designed for high visibility, the finish is reactive to UV light, a technical advantage when targeting fish in deep or stained water. The hardware includes a factory-installed barrel swivel at the head and a strong treble hook attached via robust split rings at the tail. This particular specimen is in condition 6, meaning it is unused and maintains its original factory luster without any signs of wear. Its narrow, weighted profile is a hallmark of the Krocodile design, intended for reaching significant distances during casting or maintaining depth while trolling.
