Museum Archive: Joe Bucher Swim'n Charlie, 3/4oz fishing lure #11299

Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, this specimen features a lifelike rainbow trout finish across its soft-bodied construction. Labeled with product code 11299, the Joe Bucher Swim'n Charlie is a hybrid design that provides the texture of a soft plastic with the diving capabilities of a traditional crankbait. Technical specifications list a weight of 3/4 oz (21 g) and a diving depth between 18-24' (5.4-7.5 m). Variable buoyancy is a key feature of this model, as the bait is engineered to suspend in fresh water and float in salt water environments. The original blister pack remains intact, proudly displaying an award seal from the American Sportfishing Association for 'Best New Soft Lure.' This lure is in unused condition.
