Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV, 1/2oz Pink / Yellow / Brass fishing spoon #9080

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this casting spoon is a classic heavy-metal design from Luhr Jensen's esteemed lineage. The 1/2 oz (14 g) weight gives it a high density relative to its surface area, which is a hallmark of the Krocodile series, allowing it to reach deep-water zones quickly where salmon and trout often stage. Its visual profile is defined by a vivid neon red-orange top face, decorated with yellow crescent-shaped accents, and a polished brass underside. Under low-light conditions, the 9080 model reveals its UV glow properties, as seen in the secondary image, providing high visibility in stained water or during dawn and dusk. For hardware, it features a heavy-duty barrel swivel at the nose and a sharp, size 4 treble hook at the tail. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the paint and brass showing original luster. Often favored for jetty casting or trolling, the thicker, narrower body of the Krocodile is engineered for maximum distance even against a headwind.
