Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #11989

A substantial 1/2oz (14g) weight gives this casting spoon the density needed to punch through wind and reach deep-water staging salmon. This Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, listed under product code 11989, features a Nickel / Green finish that hides a specialized secret for low-light conditions. While the daytime view reveals a vibrant lime green checkerboard prismatic tape over a polished nickel body, the specimen glows brightly in the dark across its entire green panel. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the Krocodile's profile is slightly thicker and narrower than standard spoons, a construction choice optimized for achieving impressive distance. The hardware is remarkably clean, featuring a stout treble hook and secure split rings, which supports its 5/5 condition rating. Anglers typically rely on this model for its ability to maintain a steady wobble during both slow retrieves and faster trolling speeds.
