Museum Archive: Vintage Key Largo Predator, 1 1/4oz Black/glitter fishing lure #17772

A striking black glitter finish covers the 6 3/4" (17 cm) body of this American-made big game lure. Labeled with product code 17772, the Key Largo Predator features a versatile hollow design that allows for manual buoyancy adjustments—from a suspender to a sinking lure—by adding water or additional rattle beads. This particular specimen weighs in at 1 1/4 oz (36 g) and is finished in a deep black base with heavy iridescent glitter flakes, accented by high-contrast red eyes. Intended for both casting and trolling applications, it is designed to reach a diving depth between 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m). The hardware consists of two large, silver-finish treble hooks secured by heavy-duty split rings. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, exhibiting a clean, high-gloss surface that catches the light across its entire profile, from the nose near the clear diving lip to the tapered tail.
