Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #2683

Hammered nickel textures create a distinct dimpled surface across the face of this 1/2 oz (14 g) casting spoon, designed to maximize flash. A vibrant, reflective blue strip is applied along one edge of the 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) body, providing a sharp color contrast that stands out in the water. Flipping the lure over reveals a smooth, polished reverse side clearly stamped with the Luhr Jensen brand name and its Hood River, Oregon, origin. This specimen, assigned product code 2683, features a sturdy treble hook attached by a heavy-duty split ring. The overall condition is quite high, earning a 4/5 rating for its bright metal finish and intact decorative tape. Built for distance casting and trolling, the narrow profile and substantial weight distribution are hallmarks of this American-made classic.
