Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5 UV, 1oz Green fishing spoon #8270

Vibrant green covers the surface of this 1oz (25g) heavy-duty spoon, a specific weight class designed for reaching depth and distance in the Great Lakes. Identified by product code 8270, this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5 UV is built with a thick, narrow profile that measures 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length. The specimen features a specialized finish that glows brightly in the dark, providing visibility for salmon and other predators in low-light conditions. Mounted with a single large siwash hook and a barrel swivel to prevent line twist, the hardware remains bright and functional. This USA-made lure is in 5/5 condition, appearing completely unused with a smooth, factory-original coating across its entire teardrop shape. When retrieved, the physics of the spoon's curvature produces a steady wobbling motion characteristic of this classic Luhr Jensen design.
