Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #9315

Hammered gold plating creates a multifaceted flash across the textured surface of this vintage casting spoon. At 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and 1/2oz (14g), this Krocodile Die #4 is built with the signature thick-walled, narrow design intended for high-density casting distance. Carrying product code 9315, the concave side features clean, deep-stamped markings identifying the Luhr Jensen brand. The condition is rated 5/5, maintaining a bright, well-preserved luster across its entire brass body. It comes equipped with a heavy-duty swivel at the nose and a bronzed treble hook at the tail, which are standard for this rugged model. Historically prized by Great Lakes anglers for its ability to cut through wind and reach staging salmon, the spoon is engineered to produce a steady wobble. The heavy construction provides the necessary weight-to-size ratio to target fish holding in deeper water columns. Every indentation on the hammered face serves to break up light, providing a shimmer similar to fleeing prey fish.
