Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #7517

A bold green stripe runs along the edge of this polished nickel finish, providing a high-contrast visual that stands out in various water conditions. This specific Krocodile Die #4, bearing the product code 7517, weighs in at 2/3 oz (19 g) and measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length. Stamped clearly into the metal is the Luhr Jensen name and their historic Hood River, Ore location, a nod to the brand's deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. The heavy-gauge construction allows for impressive distance when casting from piers or shorelines, while the classic spoon shape is designed for both casting and trolling applications. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring at the nose and a sharp treble hook attached via another split ring at the tail. Looking at the surfaces, the plating remains bright and reflective, earning this specimen a 5/5 condition rating. The underside reveals the authentic Krocodile and Die #4 engravings, confirming its place in a lineage of lures trusted for everything from trout to salmon.
