Museum Archive: Vintage Lazy Ike Natural Ike, 1/3oz fishing lure #21880

Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), this vintage specimen showcases the detailed craftsmanship Lazy Ike brought to their plastic production lines after 1960. The Natural Ike profile, measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), features a stippled dark grey back that transitions into creamy silver flanks and a soft pink belly. Evaluated at a 5/5 condition, the finish remains clean, highlighting the signature black spot positioned behind the gill plate and the large clear diving lip. This piece, identified by product code 21880, reflects the design philosophy of the Iowa-based Kautzky Manufacturing Company before its eventual acquisition by Pradco. The hardware is comprised of two sturdy treble hooks attached to the lure's underside and tail.
