Museum Archive: Vintage Other Diamond Rattler Jim Strader , 1/4oz fishing lure #11552

Swirled grey and black tones characterize the finish of this mid-century American classic. Originating from the USA in the 1950s, the Diamond Rattler Jim Strader stands as a rare find for topwater collectors. At a weight of 8g (1/4 oz), the slender body measures 7cm (2 3/4") and features a distinct marbled pattern that covers the entire torso. Both the nose and tail are equipped with metal propellers designed to create surface commotion during a steady retrieve. The hardware includes two treble hooks—one centrally located on the belly and another at the rear—all of which remain in well-preserved condition. A subtle eye inset adds a touch of realism to the head section. This specimen, identified by product code 11552, maintains a clean state with a condition rating of 5/5.
