Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #6490

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this Luhr Jensen classic is a staple for anglers targeting heavy hitters in deep water. The polished nickel finish on this 1/2oz (14g) spoon is accented by a vibrant green holographic prism tape that covers the majority of the convex side. Stamped clearly on the concave interior is the "Krocodile" branding along with its Hood River, OR, USA origin. It features a heavy-duty treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, and a barrel swivel on the leading end to minimize line twist during casting or trolling. This specific specimen, identified by product code 6490, remains in unused condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its pristine surfaces and sharp hardware. Luhr Jensen designed this Die #4 model with a thicker, narrower profile compared to traditional spoons, intended to facilitate long-distance casts from jetties or boats. The light-catching properties of the green prism pattern are specifically suited for the varied light conditions found when targeting salmon or trout.
