Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 1oz Nickel fishing spoon #8576

A heavy 1oz (28g) construction allows this casting spoon to reach depths and distances that lighter lures simply cannot manage. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm), this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5 features a polished nickel finish on the reverse, while the convex side is layered with a silver holographic prism tape in a fishscale pattern. The stamped details on the back clearly indicate its heritage from Hood River, Oregon, marking it as a genuine piece of Luhr Jensen history. For anglers targeting salmon or trout in big water, the thick, narrow profile is designed for a steady wobble that mimics wounded baitfish during a moderate retrieve. This specimen, identified by product code 8576, is in 5/5 condition, appearing bright and well-preserved. It comes rigged with standard heavy-duty hardware, including a stout treble hook and a large front split ring.
