Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 UV, 1/2oz Copper / Orange fishing spoon #9057

Measuring exactly 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the profile of this heavy-duty spoon is optimized for the distance demands of jetty and Great Lakes salmon anglers. The 1/2oz (14g) weight is concentrated into a narrower, thicker body than standard spoons, a design choice that aids in long casts and reaching deep feeding zones. Cataloged under product code 9057, the lure displays a polished copper finish on one face complemented by a vibrant orange stripe. This specific Die #4 model is UV-reactive, with the orange pigment glowing intensely under ultraviolet light to maintain visibility in turbid or deep water. A factory-installed swivel at the line tie and a sharp treble hook complete the assembly. In its current 5/5 condition, the USA-made spoon remains unused with clean plating and bright, untarnished hardware.
