Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV, 3/4oz Gold / Orange fishing spoon #10159

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV is built for distance casting and reaching deeper water. The spoon measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and features a distinct dual-tone finish, with a polished gold side and a solid orange reverse. Under low-light or UV conditions, the orange segment exhibits a striking glow, as seen in the dark-room photograph, making it a strategic choice for stained water or deep-dwelling salmon and trout. Its construction consists of a thick, narrow metal body designed to sink quickly and cut through the wind. The hardware includes a heavy-duty treble hook attached via a split ring and an integrated top swivel to help manage line twist. This specific specimen sits at a condition rating of 5/5, with the finish and hardware showing remarkably well. The split rings remain tight, holding the components securely for casting or trolling applications.
