Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 3/4oz White fishing spoon #1792

Heavy-gauge metal construction allows the 3/4oz (21g) Krocodile Die #5 to handle long distance casts or reach significant depths when trolling. This 3 1/4" (8.5cm) specimen features a clean, solid white finish that provides a high-contrast profile across various water conditions. Turning the lure over reveals the deep 'KROCODILE DIE #5' stamp alongside the Luhr Jensen branding and their Hood River, Oregon origin, a clear indicator of its USA-made heritage. The thicker, narrower profile characteristic of the Die #5 series produces a distinct wobbling motion during retrieval that mimics live bait. The original hardware, including the treble hook and split rings, remains in excellent 5/5 condition. Cataloged under product code 1792, the solid white coating is a preferred choice for anglers needing visibility in overcast skies or stained water. The stamped details on the concave side remain sharp and legible, reflecting the utility-focused design of this classic Luhr Jensen piece.
