Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Little Joe Master's Series Baitfish, 2/5oz Blue fishing lure #18060

Sporting a classic blue and silver finish with bold vertical black stripes, this Lindy Little Joe Master's Series Baitfish represents American lure design from the 1980s. A weight of 2/5 oz (12 g) provides the necessary mass for stable casting when targeting structure in shallower environments. The integrated diving lip identifies this specimen as a Shallow Shadling, designed for presenting a baitfish profile in the upper water column. Its 3 1/4 inch (8 cm) body is equipped with two belly-mounted treble hooks, secured via original hardware that remains intact. Produced in the USA, the lure features the distinctive yellow and black "target" eye, a signature aesthetic of the Master's Series. This specific bait, identified by product code 18060, shows a bit of honest character on the chrome finish, earning a condition rating of 4/5. Small areas of thinning in the silver flash on the underside reveal the lure's history on the water without compromising its structural integrity. The line tie is positioned directly on the nose, reinforcing its intended use for casting or steady trolling along weed edges.
