Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 1oz Nickel (Hammered Nickel) fishing spoon #1281

Hammered nickel textures on the outer surface allow this specimen to scatter light in several directions at once. This Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, weighing 1oz (25g), is a heavy-duty spoon measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) that excels in distance casting. The inner face is polished and clearly stamped with the manufacturer’s branding, confirming its authenticity. Cataloged under product code 1281, the lure features a distinctive yellow eye sticker with a black pupil for added contrast. The condition is a solid 5/5, with clean surfaces and intact hardware, including the split rings and original treble hook. Its construction is specifically engineered for a reliable wobble that functions during both high-speed retrieves and slower trolling.
