Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 UV, 1/3oz Nickel / Chartreuse fishing spoon #7483

Chartreuse fluorescent paint covers exactly half of this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon, providing a sharp visual contrast against the polished nickel plating. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 (Product Code 7483) features a narrow, thick-stamped body designed to cut through the air and reach depths quickly. Anglers targeting salmon or trout frequently rely on this specific profile for long-distance casting from jetties or shorelines. Under UV light, the chartreuse section reveals its true nature, shifting to a bright green luminescence that remains visible in deeper or stained water. The hardware is purely functional, featuring a barrel swivel at the nose to prevent line twist and a sharp treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original factory luster and clean paint transitions without any signs of use. The stamped Luhr Jensen branding on the reverse side confirms its origin, showcasing the durable finish that has made the Krocodile a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
