Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Yellow / Green fishing spoon #0263

Measuring 2 1/2 inches (6.5 cm) in length, this Krocodile Die #4 specimen is a heavy-hitting choice for anglers who need to reach deep-water predators. At 1/2 oz (14 g), the weight distribution of this Luhr Jensen spoon—product code 0263—is concentrated in a narrow, thick body that facilitates long casts even against a stiff breeze. The face presents a bold diagonal split of fluorescent yellow and dark green, a high-contrast pattern that remains visible in varied light conditions. On the reverse, the solid yellow finish is neatly stamped with the iconic brand name. The spoon is rigged with a single large hook and heavy-duty split rings, reflecting its design for serious salmon and trout work in the Great Lakes or similar open-water environments. This lure arrives in top-tier 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on its vibrant painted surfaces or its original metal hardware.
