Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #6194

Polished nickel plating covers the 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) body of this vintage Luhr Jensen casting spoon. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Krocodile Die #4 remains unused in its original factory blister packaging. Identified by product code 6194, this lure features the substantial thickness required for long-distance casting into heavy winds or deep water. The hardware includes a heavy-duty barrel swivel on the leading split ring and a sharp treble hook at the trailing edge. A characteristic translucent red plastic flipper is attached to the rear split ring, adding a visual focal point against the silver-tone metal. The original packaging indicates this specimen was produced at the Hood River, Oregon facility, carrying the SKU 1003-012-0034 on its back-labeling. This particular model demonstrates the classic stamped-metal profile that has made the Krocodile a multi-species favorite for decades.
