Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel / Light Blue with Green Tint fishing spoon #4804

A weight of 2/3 oz (19 g) provides the necessary density for this narrow spoon to achieve significant distance during casting sessions. Stamped boldly into the metal on the back are the identifying marks "KROCODILE", "DIE #4", and "LUHR JENSEN HOOD RIVER, ORE", anchoring its heritage to the famous Oregon-based tackle maker. At a length of 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the specimen features a classic nickel plating complemented by a light blue prism sticker with a subtle green tint that serves to increase visual flash. Carrying the product code 4804, the lure is constructed with a thicker metal profile than standard spoons, allowing it to maintain its depth during a steady retrieve. The condition is excellent, rated at 5/5, with the original split rings and a sharp treble hook still showing a clean, bright finish. Designed for versatility, the Die #4 size is frequently utilized by anglers targeting salmon or trout where a combination of weight and a compact profile is required.
