Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV, 1/2oz Hammered Brass / Orange fishing spoon #10111

Hammered brass finishes offer a timeless reflective quality, but the standout feature on this 1/2 oz (14 g) Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV is the vibrant fluorescent orange stripe running along its edge. Carrying product code 10111, this specific model measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and is built with a thicker, narrower profile compared to standard spoons, a design choice intended for long-distance casting into heavy winds or targeting fish in deeper strata. When exposed to UV light, that orange section glows intensely, providing a visual trigger in low-clarity water or during dawn and dusk transitions. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a bronzed split ring, and a pre-rigged swivel to manage line twist during casting or trolling. At a condition rating of 5/5, the metal maintains a bright luster with no signs of wear on the factory-applied paint. It remains a versatile piece of tackle, often utilized by jetty anglers for reaching staging salmon.
