Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike 3, 1/4oz Pearl fishing lure #18992

Pearl-colored with a subtle red blush on the nose and tail, this vintage specimen carries the "LAZY IKE-3" stamp on its side as a hallmark of its American production. This 1/4oz (7g) floating lure measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and is identified by product code 18992. It is engineered for shallow-water applications, reaching depths between 1ft (0.3m) and 2ft (0.6m) during a typical retrieve. The lure is preserved in 5/5 condition, showing a clean, lustrous finish and original dark-metal treble hooks attached with robust hardware. Its distinct banana-shaped profile and sloped diving face are specifically designed for targeting pike and walleye through both casting and trolling techniques. The line-tie eyelet is positioned directly on the angled face, providing a secure connection for various fishing conditions.
