Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike, 1/2oz Light Blue Metallic / Mirror Silver fishing lure #6739

Dressed in a striking Light Blue Metallic over Mirror Silver finish, this 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen highlights the classic banana-shaped profile that became a staple in tackle boxes across the USA. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm), the lure carries the stamped "LAZY IKE" name clearly across its belly, which collectors often look for as a sign of authentic manufacture. This item, listed under product code 6739, is a floating model intended for shallow-water work between 1-2 ft (0.3 - 0.6 m). The finish is exceptionally well-maintained, earning a 5/5 condition rating, with the mirror silver belly providing significant flash. It features two sets of sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy hardware. The painted yellow eyes with distinct black pupils sit prominently near the front, adding a touch of character to the metallic body. Designed for both casting and trolling techniques when targeting zander or pike, the lure's construction reflects the durability typical of mid-century American tackle. The top of the body transitions into a light blue hue, contrasting cleanly against the silver sides.
