Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #5957

Weighing in at 5/8 oz (17.7 g), this classic Luhr Jensen Krocodile spoon features the Chrome/Neon Blue Stripe pattern (Product Code 1003-058-0306), a staple for deep-water presentation. The narrow, thick-bodied construction of this 2 1/2" (6.35 cm) specimen facilitates distance when casting from piers or boats. This particular lure is unused, still housed in its vintage red and white carded blister pack from the Luhr Jensen & Sons era in Hood River, Oregon. The polished nickel-plated surface is accented by a vibrant blue longitudinal stripe designed to provide contrast in the water column. It comes factory-rigged with a split ring and a barrel swivel to help prevent line twist during its intended use for casting, trolling, or vertical jigging. Anglers frequently turn to this specific weight class when targeting staging salmon or steelhead where a quick sink rate is required. The reverse side of the packaging notes a catalog offer from the legacy tackle maker, dating back to 2003 as indicated by the stamp on the label.
