Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #3 Glow, 1/3oz fishing spoon #12963

When it comes to fishing for salmon in the Great Lakes, sometimes nothing but far, fast, and deep will do. That's where the Krocodile spoon comes in. These lures are true spoons in shape, with a great wobble, but they're thicker and narrower than most, making them ideal for long casts.

Jetty anglers on the Great Lakes swear by the Krocodile spoon, using it to reach out over the waves and target staging salmon. The ½-ounce model 012 in a pearl-fishscale finish is a popular choice. It's worth noting that mottled pearl is a sleeper color among spoon options, and when you find it, it's best to stock up.

The Krocodile spoon's unique shape and weight distribution make it highly effective at attracting fish. When retrieved, the lure produces a wobbling motion that mimics the movement of live bait, making it highly attractive to salmon and other predatory fish.

When using the Krocodile spoon, it's important to focus on making long casts. The lure's thicker and narrower design allows for longer casts, giving anglers the ability to reach deeper waters where fish are likely to be feeding. It's also essential to pay attention to the lure's action when retrieving it. A steady, moderate retrieve is often the most effective, but it's also worth experimenting with different retrieval speeds and techniques to see what works best.

Overall, the Krocodile spoon is a must-have lure for any angler looking to target salmon in the Great Lakes. Its unique design and weight distribution make it highly effective at attracting fish, and the pearl-fishscale finish and mottled pearl color are proven winners. So, the next time you're out on the water, give the Krocodile spoon a try and see for yourself just how effective it can be.
