Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike, 1/8oz Black / Red fishing lure #1318

A deep black finish accented with red target markings defines the aesthetic of this classic 1318 model. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure features the iconic banana-curved body that made Lazy Ike a household name for anglers across the USA. The top of the body is stamped with the "FLEX IKE-I" designation, providing a clear link to its production history and specific model lineage. At 1/8oz (3.5g), it fits into the lighter class of trolling tools intended for smaller freshwater game. This specimen presents in well-preserved condition, rated 4/5, with its original finish and hardware still looking crisp. The twin treble hooks are attached via standard metal eyelets, ready for a collection shelf or a nostalgic trip to the lake.
