Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz White Pearl / Green / fishing spoon #5417

Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "KROCODILE" Die #4 mark, identifying this Luhr Jensen classic from Hood River, Oregon. Carrying a weight of 2/3 oz (19 g) over its 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) length, this spoon's thickness makes it a go-to for long-distance casting or deep trolling. The finish is a striking White Pearl base with a fluorescent green and yellow scale pattern, featuring a fine sparkle throughout the paint. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 5417, is designed with UV Glow properties to remain visible in deeper, darker water columns where salmon and trout often hold. The condition is 5/5, presenting a clean finish and sharp, dark-finished treble hardware. The narrow, heavy profile is the defining characteristic of the Die #4, distinguishing it from lighter flutter spoons. It remains a staple for jetty and boat anglers who need to reach staging fish at depth.
