Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Yellow / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #1983

Weighting in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this classic Luhr Jensen spoon features a vibrant two-tone paint job on its convex face. Half of the surface is a bright yellow, while the other half transitions to a deep green, both decorated with a series of distinct black dots. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the Krocodile Die #4 is a versatile tool for anglers needing to reach deeper water columns where predatory fish like salmon or lake trout hunt. Turning the lure over reveals a polished nickel finish stamped with the manufacturer's details and the specific Die #4 designation, a testament to its American-made origins. This particular specimen, identified by product code 1983, shows a condition rating of 4/5, presenting a clean appearance with minimal signs of its history. The thick-gauge metal construction is paired with a reliable treble hook and sturdy split rings.
