Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #1190

Faceted fishscale patterns on the convex face provide a distinct visual texture to this nickel-finished casting spoon. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) and weighing 3/4oz (23g), this Krocodile Die #5 carries the product code 1190 and features the substantial, heavy-gauge construction synonymous with the Hood River, Oregon, manufacturer. The concave side of the specimen is clearly stamped with the Luhr Jensen brand name and the model designation. This lure is in 5/5 condition, presenting a bright, clean reflective surface and original hardware throughout. Its profile is designed for long-distance casting from piers or shorelines where reaching deeper water is necessary. A robust treble hook is attached at the rear with a strong split ring, and the head is equipped with a matching ring for secure line attachment.
