Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #11585

Hexagonal honeycomb patterns in a vibrant blue fishscale finish cover the face of this 1/2oz (14g) casting spoon. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the Die #4 model carries the classic "LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE" stamp on its polished nickel back. This American-made specimen, cataloged under product code 11585, features a thicker and narrower body profile designed to facilitate reaching deep-feeding fish through long-distance casting. The lure is rigged with a top swivel and a sturdy treble hook. The finish remains bright and clear, showing a well-preserved 4/5 condition with minimal signs of handling. When retrieved, the unique weight distribution of the spoon produces a steady wobbling motion intended to simulate the movement of live baitfish.
