Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Red / White fishing spoon #5453

Exactly 1/2 oz (14 g) in weight, this Luhr Jensen spoon provides the ballast necessary for long-distance casting from piers or boats. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), this Krocodile Die #4 features a classic high-visibility Red / White stripe pattern. This particular specimen is identified by product code 5453 and is unused, still sealed in its 2006-dated original packaging. The back of the card highlights the brand's Hood River, Oregon heritage, noting their history since 1932. Outfitted with a single large hook, it is configured for techniques like casting, trolling, and jigging. The thick-profile metal construction ensures it maintains its integrity during retrieves in heavy current or when targeting aggressive predatory species.
