Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile UV, 1/3oz Red / Black fishing spoon #7485

Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this dense casting spoon provides the necessary weight for reaching deep-holding fish or cutting through a stiff breeze. This Luhr Jensen Krocodile UV, identified by product code 7485, is a versatile 1/3 oz (9 g) tool that transitions easily between casting and trolling techniques. The front face is finished in a saturated red enamel with a centered silver prism fish-scale insert designed to maximize flash. On the reverse, the "KROCODILE" brand stamp is clearly impressed into the metal. A significant technical feature of this specimen is its fluorescent glow under UV light, a property intended to trigger strikes in stained water or low-light conditions. It is rigged with a robust treble hook and includes a barrel swivel on the nose to manage the rotational forces during a retrieve. This lure is unused and presents in excellent condition, showcasing the durable finish and construction Luhr Jensen is respected for among veteran anglers.
