Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #10296

A vibrant blue holographic prism tape covers the top side of this 2/3oz (19g) spoon, providing a sharp contrast against the polished nickel finish on the reverse. Produced by Luhr Jensen in the USA, this specimen is the Krocodile Die #4, tracked in the database under Product Code 10296. The 2 1/2" (6.5cm) body is stamped with the classic "KROCODILE" Die #4 mark, noting the manufacturer's location in Hood River, Oregon. The hardware includes a factory-installed barrel swivel at the nose and a sturdy treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This specific Nickel / Blue color pattern is often favored by anglers targeting salmon or trout in clear water conditions where deep-reaching weight is required. The surfaces and hook remain in excellent condition, appearing 5/5 with a clean, reflective shine across the metal and tape. Each stamping is crisp and deep in the metal, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of Luhr Jensen’s historical production.
