Vintage Lazy Ike Natural Ike, 2/3oz fishing lure #18055

Weighing in at 2/3 oz (19 g), the 3" (7.5 cm) body of this Natural Ike reflects the mid-century transition from hand-carved wood to durable plastic at the Kautzky Manufacturing Company. The finish is characterized by a realistic grey and brown scaled back that gives way to a dense silver glitter coating along the mid-line and sides. A prominent black spot is painted just behind the detailed gill lines, providing a high-contrast strike point near the white-and-black eyes. The clear, oversized diving lip is embossed with the words "Natural Ike" and "Diver," housing the metal line tie. Original gold-finish treble hooks are secured to the belly and tail with robust screw-eye hardware. Carrying product code 18055, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing no wear to the silver flake or the smooth cream-colored belly. The paintwork remains sharp, particularly the black gill definition which highlights the brand's effort to create a realistic baitfish silhouette.
