Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Hammered Gold / Red fishing spoon #9137

Hammered gold plating with a bold red accent strip defines the visual profile of this classic Die #4 model. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the thick-gauge metal construction is built for distance casting and reaching deeper holding zones. The reverse side features the authentic stamp, clearly indicating its origin from Luhr Jensen in Hood River, Oregon, USA. This specific specimen carries the product code 9137 and remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing the crispness of the original factory finish. Heavy-duty split rings secure a sharp treble hook, ready for service in either freshwater or saltwater environments. The narrow profile and substantial mass of the Krocodile design allow it to cut through wind easily during a long cast. A red stripe provides a strike-triggering contrast against the textured gold, which is designed to mimic the scales of forage fish.
