Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #5599

A mirror-like nickel finish accented by a clean blue stripe along the edge characterizes this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) Krocodile Die #4. Weighing 2/3 oz (19 g), the Luhr Jensen design utilizes a thicker, narrower profile than standard spoons, specifically engineered to cut through wind during long casts or reach deeper zones while trolling. The back of the spoon features a crisp "KROCODILE" stamp alongside the "LUHR JENSEN HOOD RIVER, ORE" branding, identifying its USA heritage. Equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a robust split ring, this specimen carries a condition rating of 5/5 and remains in unused shape. Identified by product code 5599, the lure's heavy-gauge construction allows it to maintain stability during various retrieval speeds. The blue edge accent provides a subtle contrast to the high-flash nickel body, a classic combination often favored for targeting salmon and steelhead in both freshwater and coastal environments.
