Museum Archive: Vintage Crane Baits Crane 206, 1oz Pearch fishing lure #7012

A hand-painted Perch pattern defines the balsa body of this American-made classic, showcasing vertical black stripes over a warm, golden-brown gradient. Measuring 6" (15 cm) and weighing in at 1oz (26 g), the Crane 206 is designed for shallow-running scenarios with a maximum diving depth of 5ft (1.5 m). Crafted by Crane Baits in the USA, the lure utilizes a lightweight balsa wood construction, making it a floating and fast-rising specimen when paused during a retrieve. Labeled with product code 7012, this specific lure is in exceptional condition, carrying a 5/5 rating for its clean finish and well-preserved hardware. It is equipped with three sturdy treble hooks and a clear, angled diving lip, with gold-rimmed eyes set against the dark paint of the head.
