Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #4507

A weight of 1/2oz (14g) gives this casting spoon the density needed to punch through heavy wind and reach deep-holding fish. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the Die #4 model remains a versatile staple for Great Lakes salmon and various coastal predatory species. The Hammered Nickel finish is designed to scatter light in multiple directions, creating a distinct flash that mimics a fleeing baitfish. Flip the lure over, and you will see the classic Luhr Jensen stamps from Hood River, Oregon, marking its heritage as a genuine American-made tool. This specimen carries the product code 4507 and is in 5/5 condition, retaining its high-reflectivity and clean surfaces. The hardware configuration includes a factory-rigged barrel swivel to manage line twist and a strong treble hook attached via a robust split ring. Its thick-stamped, narrow body design is engineered to maintain a steady wobble across different retrieval speeds.
