Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #6230

A reflective nickel finish defines this 1/2 oz (14 g) casting spoon, which has been preserved in its original packaging from the Luhr Jensen facility in Hood River, OR. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this specimen is the Die #4 model, identified by product code 6230. The spoon features a distinctive thick-gauge metal construction and a narrow profile, a combination designed for achieving long distances on the cast and maintaining depth. This particular lure is unused, presenting the original hardware including a heavy split ring and a nose swivel intended to minimize line twist. Stamped clearly on the face are the brand name and model details, consistent with its USA-made origin. The original blister pack shows minor storage wear, but the lure itself remains clean and functional for either a collector's shelf or a tackle box.
