Museum Archive: Vintage Kautzky Lazy Ike Wooden, 1/4oz fishing lure #24032

Crafted from solid wood, this 1/4 oz (8g) floating rarity hails from the mid-century era of American tackle manufacturing. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the body features a soft green-to-white gradient finish accented by a fine scale pattern along the arched back. Its distinctive profile is complemented by a bold yellow eye and a metallic diving lip that serves as the line tie. As an authentic piece from Kautzky, it carries the design DNA that made the Lazy Ike a household name for anglers across the USA. The two treble hooks remain securely attached via traditional hardware, showing the honest age of a well-kept collector's piece. With a condition rating of 4/5, the lure displays light, gentle surface marks that tell the story of its history without compromising the paint's luster. Product code 24032 identifies this specific vintage Ike, reflecting the craftsmanship of a bygone era in wooden plug design.
