Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #11054

Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length, the sleek profile of this Luhr Jensen classic is optimized for slicing through the air on long-distance casts. Stamped with the "KROCODILE DIE #4" designation, the heavy metal body weighs 2/3oz (19g), providing the ballast required for reaching deep water or targeting staging salmon from a pier. The Nickel color provides a consistent mirror-like flash, a critical visual trigger for predatory species in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Manufactured in Hood River, Oregon, the lure represents the quality of vintage USA-made tackle, featuring a durable treble hook and robust split ring assembly. In terms of condition, it sits at a 5/5, showing a pristine reflective surface and no signs of previous use. Its narrow, tapered shape is characteristic of the Krocodile line, allowing it to be used effectively for casting, trolling, or even vertical jigging techniques. The stamping on the reverse side also includes the manufacturer name, the 11054 product code, and the original production location, a detail many collectors look for when verifying authentic Luhr Jensen pieces.
