Museum Archive: Helin Tackle Kwikfish K6, 3/32oz Red OB fishing lure #17567

Dipped in a vibrant Red OB finish, this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) Canadian-made specimen is a clean example of Windsor-era craftsmanship from Helin Tackle. The lure remains in unused condition, preserved inside its original blue and white box which bears the product code 17567. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g), the K6 model is a floating plug designed to reach depths of 3 ft to 4 ft (0.9 m - 1.2 m). This specific color pattern features a bold orange-red base accented with dark spots, a configuration often selected for targeting salmon, perch, steelhead, trout, or pike. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook suspended from the belly. Its construction reflects the traditional manufacturing techniques used in Windsor, Ontario, specifically intended for casting and trolling. The original packaging remains intact, clearly labeled with the K6 model and OB color designations on the end flap.
