Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 1oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #12693

Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this Luhr Jensen casting spoon is a substantial tool for reaching deep-water predators. The polished nickel body features a striking green prismatic insert that provides a faceted, reflective surface to catch light. Stamped into the reverse of the metal are the words "KROCODILE" DIE #5, alongside the Luhr Jensen branding from Hood River, Oregon. At 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length, this specimen is built with a heavy gauge that aids in long-distance casting from piers or shorelines. This specific item carries product code 12693 and is fitted with a bronzed treble hook and original split rings. As an unused piece of tackle, it is in 5/5 condition with the metallic and prismatic surfaces maintaining their original finish. The narrow, thick profile is designed for versatility, performing effectively during both fast and slow retrieval speeds.
