Weighing in at 2/3 oz (19 g), this American-made casting spoon provides the necessary mass for reaching distant schools of fish from the shore or a boat. The Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, identified by product code 12397, features a classic narrow profile measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm). This specific specimen is finished with a reflective nickel plating on the reverse side, where the Luhr Jensen brand and Hood River, Oregon origin are stamped directly into the metal. The convex front is adorned with a silver hologram fishscale pattern that creates a multi-directional flash. Its construction includes a heavy-duty treble hook attached via a split ring, with a matching split ring at the line-tie point to facilitate easy rigging. Often utilized for targeting salmon, trout, or striped bass, the thickness of the metal ensures the lure sinks quickly to reach deeper water columns. This example remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original factory luster and clear markings.
