Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Lil' Kroc (Krocodile Stubby), 3/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #1998

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this compact spoon features a Nickel / Blue finish that defines the "Lil' Kroc" variant of the Luhr Jensen Krocodile series. At 3/4 oz (21 g), the Stubby model provides a denser profile than its standard counterparts, intended for reaching greater depths during casting or jigging. This specific lure carries the product code 1998 and represents the brand's heritage of USA-based manufacturing in Hood River, Oregon. Although the vintage yellow-carded blister pack shows some handling marks, the lure itself is unused. The hardware consists of a single treble hook secured by a robust split ring, designed for durability and strength. Stamping on the rear of the metal spoon is visible through the packaging, marking it as a genuine "Original Krocodile" specimen.
