Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 2/3oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #8426

A hammered nickel finish provides the Krocodile Die #4 with a multi-faceted surface designed to catch light from various angles. This Luhr Jensen spoon, identified by product code 8426, weighs 2/3oz (19g) and has a length of 2 1/2" (6.5cm). The back of the lure is stamped with the manufacturer's name, the "KROCODILE" model name, and the "Hood River, Ore. Made in USA" origin mark. Its narrow, weighted profile is designed for long casts when targeting fish in deeper zones, and it performs a distinctive wobble during the retrieve whether used for casting or trolling. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook and a barrel swivel attached via split rings. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright metallic luster on both sides with original, clean components.
