Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #5, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #9674

A gleaming Nickel finish covers the heavy-gauge metal body of this classic casting spoon. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 3 1/4 inches (8.5 cm), this specimen remains in its original Luhr Jensen packaging, identified by product code 1003-034-0013. The lure is unused, maintaining the bright reflective surface required for deep-water visibility. Designed for casting, trolling, and jigging, this Krocodile #5 is rigged with a sturdy single hook and a front-mounted swivel to manage the torque of hard-fighting fish. The narrow, thick profile is a hallmark of the Krocodile line, engineered to provide extra weight for long-distance casts while maintaining a compact profile. This specific piece, cataloged under 1003-034-0013 (Ref: 9674), represents the solid hardware and utilitarian design that defined the Hood River, Oregon brand.
