Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g) and stretching 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the thick brass construction of this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 allows it to punch through the wind for long-distance casting. The top side sports a vibrant fluorescent yellow finish centered by a prismatic gold checkered tape that catches any available surface light. Flip the lure over, or drop it into the depths, and its UV-reactive properties reveal a powerful green glow, a feature specifically designed for low-light or stained water conditions. This particular specimen, bearing product code 12095, arrives in 5/5 condition with the hardware—a sturdy treble hook and a top-mounted barrel swivel—remaining bright and ready for service. Luhr Jensen's Krocodile series has long been a staple in the Great Lakes and West Coast fisheries due to its versatile design that works just as well for vertical jigging as it does for a steady retrieve. The paint on this unit is exceptionally crisp, highlighting the high-visibility yellow intended to trigger strikes from salmon and trout in various water clarities.
