Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV, 2/3oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7411

Nickel and red finishes define the striking aesthetic of this Luhr Jensen classic, a versatile piece of hardware for any veteran angler’s tackle box. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the Die #4 model features the iconic deep-stamped lettering identifying its origins in Hood River, Oregon. Carrying product code 7411, this specimen remains unused, presenting a mirror-like chrome surface that reflects light brilliantly. While the face is a polished nickel, a bold red finish is visible along the edges and reverse side, providing high-contrast flash. This specific variant includes UV properties, intended to maintain visibility at the deeper depths often targeted by casting or trolling. Weighing in at 2/3 oz (19 g), the spoon's thick metal construction and narrow profile are engineered for long-distance casts into the wind or reaching staging fish in deeper water columns. The hardware is robust, featuring a large treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring at the rear.
