Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 3/5oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #1328

A hefty 3/5 oz (17 g) weight gives this spoon the density needed to punch through wind and settle quickly into the strike zone. The front face is finished with a vibrant green scale pattern and a distinct red eye, while the reverse reveals a polished nickel surface. Stamped into the metal are the 'KROCODILE' and 'LUHR JENSEN' brandings, along with the 'HOOD RIVER ORE' location and '012 5/8' size markings. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the lure’s narrow, thick-bodied design is a classic choice for casting into deeper water columns. This particular specimen, product code 1328, maintains a 4/5 condition rating with clean hardware and a bright finish. The original split rings and treble hook are firmly intact at the head and tail.
