Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Stubby, 1/2oz Nickel / Light Blue fishing spoon #8236

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this Luhr Jensen Krocodile Stubby displays the distinctive shortened profile that gave it the "Lil' Kroc" nickname among seasoned anglers. The split-color finish is the defining feature of product code 8236, showcasing a polished nickel side paired with a vibrant light blue panel. On the reverse, the metal is clearly stamped with the "Krocodile STUBBY" logo, a classic hallmark of the brand's Oregon-based production history. While many collectors focus on the standard Krocodile, this wider variant provides a different silhouette for casting and trolling, specifically designed for those targeting trout or salmon. The hardware consists of a robust split ring connecting the heavy-gauge body to a tinned treble hook, both of which remain in excellent shape. With its clean surfaces and well-preserved paint, this specimen carries a condition rating of 5/5. The 1/2 oz (14 g) weight is concentrated into this compact frame to maximize casting distance.
