Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike 2, 1/4oz fishing lure #16901

Measuring exactly 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this wooden classic showcases a high-contrast black and white scalloped paint pattern. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), the Lazy Ike 2 is a floating lure engineered for shallow presentations, typically reaching depths between 1ft and 2ft (0.3m – 0.6m). This specific specimen, carrying product code 16901, is presented in 4/5 condition, exhibiting light surface wear that reflects its history on the water without compromising the build. Anglers originally favored these USA-made wooden bodies for both casting and trolling techniques when targeting pike and walleye. The hardware includes two sets of treble hooks and a sturdy integrated metal lip typical of the early Lazy Ike manufacturing process.
