Museum Archive: Vintage Daiwa TD Slash Skater Zero, 2/5oz fishing lure #11882

Translucent amber and gold hues dominate the body of this 4" (10 cm) Japanese surface walker. Labeled with the 'ZERO' stamp on its head, this specimen showcases the refined aesthetic of the Team Daiwa lineup. The internal rattle system adds a noisy element to its surface presentation, helping to draw attention from pike and zander lurking below. At 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure provides enough heft for accurate casting across open water. The finish is a masterclass in subtlety, featuring a dark spot behind the gill cover and a fine scale pattern that catches the light through the semi-transparent sides. This specific Slash Skater Zero, product code 11882, maintains a 5/5 condition rating with clean hardware and a vibrant, unmarred surface. Designed as a floating topwater lure, it operates at a depth of 0 ft (0 m), making it an ideal choice for working over submerged vegetation or in shallow structure. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks, typical for its 10 cm length, ensuring solid hook-ups when predators strike from beneath.
