Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #7, 3 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #10186

Nickel-plated steel provides the high-visibility flash for this Die #7 model, a powerhouse in the world of heavy casting spoons. Measuring 5 inches (13cm) in length, the lure features a narrow, thick profile designed to slice through the air for maximum distance. Stamped clearly on the inner curve is the 'KROCODILE' brand name alongside 'LUHR JENSEN - HOOD RIVER, ORE.' and the '3 1/4 OZ' weight specification. This specimen, carrying product code 10186, is in unused condition (5/5), presenting with the original factory split rings and a large treble hook. At 3 1/4 oz (94g), the weight distribution is engineered for deep-water presentations and a steady wobbling action during the retrieve. Heavy-duty split rings are used at both ends to ensure the hardware can withstand the torque of a powerful fish.
