Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike , 1/4oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #14515

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen from the USA features a classic curved profile designed for both casting and trolling. The Fire Tiger finish is particularly striking, blending a bright chartreuse green along the spine into a deep yellow, highlighted by black squiggly markings and an orange-tinted belly. Two sharp treble hooks are secured to the body via screw-eye hangers, showing the robust construction expected from the 14515 series. Intended for shallow presentations, it operates at depths between 1 ft (0.3 m) and 2 ft (0.6 m), making it a tactical choice for weed edges or shallow flats. The condition is excellent, rated 5/5, with the paint and hardware remaining well-preserved.
