Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel / Golden / Green fishing spoon #0067

Stamped clearly with the Hood River, Oregon origin, this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) spoon represents a staple in West Coast lure history. Weighing a substantial 2/3 oz (19 g), the Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 (Product Code 0067) is built for reaching those deeper staging areas where salmon and trout hold. The color palette is particularly interesting, featuring a polished nickel base layered with a golden-yellow center stripe and accented by dark green tiger-style markings. Attached to the rear split ring is a sharp treble hook accompanied by the classic red plastic flapper, designed to provide a small point of contrast. At the nose, a factory-installed barrel swivel is linked via a robust split ring, ensuring the hardware is as heavy-duty as the thick-cut slab of metal itself. The finish on this specimen is well-preserved across both sides, reflecting a condition of 4/5.
