Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Lil' Kroc (Krocodile Stubby), 3/16oz gold fishing spoon #19855

Gleaming with a classic brass finish, this 1 1/4" (3.2cm) spoon represents a now-rare chapter in Luhr Jensen’s history. Collectors recognize this as the Lil' Kroc, or "Krocodile Stubby," a compact variation of their legendary casting spoon that has been out of production for roughly 25 years. This specific specimen, identified by product code 1123-018-0002, remains in its original packaging. At 3/16oz (4.5g), the lure's dense construction is designed for distance and depth, featuring a sturdy barrel swivel at the head and a high-quality treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail. The condition of the lure is unused, appearing as fresh as the day it was manufactured in late 1997. The stubby profile sets it apart from the standard elongated Krocodile, making it a specialized tool for casting or vertical jigging. The label on the back confirms its brass color designation and includes a production date of November 5, 1997.
