Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 1oz White Pearl fishing spoon #12113

At 1oz (25g), the substantial heft of this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5 makes it a reliable choice for anglers needing to reach distant schools of salmon or trout. The White Pearl finish on the convex face features a subtle, iridescent fishscale texture that mimics the natural flash of baitfish under the surface. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length, the spoon is constructed with a thicker profile than standard casting spoons, which allows it to sink efficiently and target fish in deeper water columns. On the reverse, the metal is stamped with the classic 'KROCODILE' and 'LUHR JENSEN' identifiers, confirming its heritage and model. This specimen, identified by product code 12113, is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean surface and sharp hardware. The rigging includes a barrel swivel on the leading split ring to help manage line twist and a strong treble hook at the rear. Designed for both casting from piers and trolling in open water, the weight distribution of this 1oz (25g) lure provides the necessary stability for varying retrieval speeds. The heavy-duty split rings remain tight, ensuring the hardware stays secure during a strike.
