Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #11868

Stamped clearly on the underside is "KROCODILE DIE #4" along with the Hood River, Oregon origin, a hallmark of Luhr Jensen's historic production. This specific specimen features a classic Nickel / Blue color scheme, where a vibrant blue stripe runs along the outer edge of the polished nickel body, showing some light, authentic wear to the painted surface. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the spoon is built with a distinct thickness that helps it reach significant casting distances. The hardware remains robust, featuring a heavy-duty split ring paired with a sharp treble hook and a high-quality swivel at the head to reduce line twist. With a condition rating of 5/5, the nickel surface retains a bright, reflective quality that makes it a staple for targeting salmon or trout. Often utilized for casting, trolling, or even a vertical jigging approach, the Krocodile’s shape allows it to maintain a steady wobble across various speeds. Every detail of this lure is cataloged under product code 11868.
