Fluorescent hues of chartreuse and orange define the Fire Tiger finish on this 1/2 oz (14g) vintage find. Manufactured in Japan for the S.S. Kresge Company, this Kmart Kresge #K12 (Product Code 11892) is a specialized deep-diver measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length. A long, clear plastic lip allows it to target depths between 7-11.5 ft (2.1-3.5 m) when casting or trolling. The specimen is unused, preserved within its original packaging, and shows no signs of wear. Beyond the bold black vertical stripes, the lure exhibits a notable glow-in-the-dark property that becomes highly visible in dark or murky water. The back of the packaging notes the distribution out of Troy, Michigan, and the lure is rigged with a pair of treble hooks secured by metal hangers.
