Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Shadling, 1/4oz Perch fishing lure #11104

Weighing exactly 1/4oz (7g), this Lindy Shadling is a quintessential example of 1980s American craftsmanship from Lindy / Little Joe. The 2" (5 cm) body is finished in a rich Perch pattern, blending a glitter-infused green back with bold vertical striping over a cream-colored belly. Under the chin, a vibrant orange patch provides a classic contrast point for following fish. This specific model, identified by product code 11104, remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original luster across the paint and hardware. The long, integrated diving lip characterizes the Shadling's design, which became a staple for anglers targeting deep-water species. Collectors will appreciate the preservation of the sparkle finish, which was a signature aesthetic choice for Lindy lures of this era.
