Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 3/5oz Hammered Gold / Orange fishing spoon #2085

Hammered gold textures catch the light across the convex side of this classic casting spoon, specifically designed for anglers who require distance and depth. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g) with a length of 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 is built with a thick, narrow profile suitable for both casting and trolling. A vibrant orange stripe runs along one edge of the hammered surface, providing a sharp visual contrast to the reflective metallic body. Stamped clearly on the smooth interior is the iconic 'KROCODILE' name alongside the Luhr Jensen mark and their Hood River, Oregon origin, a detail collectors value for verifying vintage authenticity. This specimen, identified by product code 2085, remains in 5/5 condition, featuring a clean treble hook and sturdy split rings. The weight distribution of the Die #4 allows it to maintain its position in the water column even when retrieved through faster currents.
