Hammered gold surfaces on this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 serve a specific purpose, catching and refracting light to create high visibility in varied water conditions. This 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon is crafted with a thicker, narrower profile than standard spoons, a design choice intended for achieving significant distance when casting from piers or jetties into deep water. One side of the 2 1/2 inch (6.5 cm) body is deeply dimpled, while the reverse remains smooth, bearing the crisp Luhr Jensen Krocodile stamp and weight designation. Given a condition rating of 5/5, the plating shows a bright, consistent glow and remains very clean. The hardware includes a sturdy brass barrel swivel at the head and a sharp treble hook on the tail. Known for producing a steady wobbling motion on a moderate retrieve, this model has long been a staple for targeting staging salmon in the Great Lakes. Product Code 9947 is associated with this particular 1/2 oz (14 g) configuration, which includes a factory-installed high-strength split ring for the hook.
