Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Lil' Kroc (Krocodile Stubby), 3/16oz brass fishing spoon #23644

Brass construction defines the body of this vintage specimen, a compact variant of the legendary Krocodile series often referred to as the “Stubby” model. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.5 g) with a length of 1 1/4" (3.2 cm), this lure is a prime example of American craftsmanship from the Luhr Jensen factory in Hood River, Oregon. The polished brass finish provides a classic visual profile that has been a favorite for generations of anglers targeting trout or panfish. Identified by product code 23644, this piece remains in its original blister pack, confirming its status as an unused item. The hardware includes a factory-installed split ring and a small barrel swivel, intended to assist with line management when casting or trolling.
