Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile UV, 1/3oz Yellow fishing spoon #7604

A bright yellow border frames a silver fishscale holographic insert on this 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) metal spoon. This Luhr Jensen Krocodile UV, listed under product code 7604, weighs in at 1/3 oz (9 g), a density that aids in casting distance. The back of the lure is stamped with the brand and model name, confirming its USA-made heritage. A notable feature of this specimen is its reaction to UV light; while appearing yellow in daylight, it shifts to a brilliant neon green glow under ultraviolet conditions, as seen in the dark-room imagery. The rigging consists of a standard barrel swivel and a treble hook, both of which show no wear. This specific lure is rated 5/5 and maintains its original finish. In the water, the spoon’s shape is engineered to create a steady wobble during both fast and slow retrieves.
