Vintage Kautzky Lazy Ike Chug Ike Vintage Plastic Topwater Popper, 1/3oz fishing lure #19773

At 1/3 oz (9.5 g), the weight of this Chug Ike makes it a substantial choice for surface casting. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Chug Ike model from Kautzky showcases an intricate scale pattern over a bright orange and yellow gradient. This specific specimen, identified by product code 19773, features the classic oversized eyes and detailed gill stamps typical of the Lazy Ike plastic line. The hardware consists of two treble hooks—one belly-mounted and one tail-mounted—attached with robust screw-eye hangers, a standard construction for mid-century lures. Its condition is a solid 5/5, showing the original factory finish without significant wear. The concave face is designed for creating surface disturbance, providing a noisy alternative to the brand's famous banana-shaped swimmers when targeting pike or perch.
