Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike, 3/16oz White Pearl fishing lure #9990

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the distinctive curved profile of this vintage USA-produced lure is finished in a clean White Pearl. This specimen, identified by product code 9990, features the recognizable black and red stylized eye graphic printed on its side. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the construction is centered around a banana-shaped body intended for shallow-water applications between 1 ft and 2 ft (0.3 m and 0.6 m) deep. Two bronze treble hooks remain in top-tier condition, matching the overall 5/5 rating of the lure's exterior. The line tie is recessed into the upper portion of the sloped face, a design characteristic for both casting and trolling techniques targeting species like pike and walleye. The pearlescent sheen retains its original luster across the entire plastic body.
