Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 3/5oz Orange / Brass fishing spoon #0914

A striking orange stripe accents the hammered brass front of this 3/5 oz (17 g) casting spoon, a design renowned for distance and depth. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), this Krocodile Die #4 is a classic Luhr Jensen piece from their Hood River, Oregon era, with the brand name and origin stamped boldly into the smooth brass interior. This specimen, identified by product code 0914, utilizes a thick-walled body that facilitates long casts and a rapid sink rate. The hammered texture on the face provides a multi-directional flash while the high-contrast orange stripe along the edge increases visibility. It is equipped with a silver-tone treble hook and a barrel swivel connected via split rings, showing a well-maintained condition rating of 4/5. The interior face remains polished and bright, providing a clean surface that reflects light differently than the textured exterior.
