Museum Archive: Krocodile Stubby Luhr Jensen, 2/3oz Red / Nickel fishing spoon #6053

Red enamel finishes half of the nickel-plated body on this specialized spoon, offering a distinct visual contrast for deep-water presentations. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) with a weight of 2/3 oz (18 g), the Stubby design provides a more compact profile compared to the standard Krocodile silhouette. This specimen, carrying product code 6053, reflects the manufacturing history of Luhr Jensen when they operated out of Hood River, Oregon, and Vancouver, B.C. The lure is unused, still sealed in its original vintage packaging which displays the alligator graphic synonymous with the line's name. A sturdy barrel swivel is pre-attached to the line tie, while the reverse of the card provides details for ordering a full-color 48-page catalog from the 1980s.
