Museum Archive: Luck E Strike Rogers Big Jim, 1/4oz silver/green fishing lure #21496

Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this Rogers Big Jim is a classic example of Missouri-made tackle. The silver/green color scheme features a muted green spine that blends into reflective silver flanks, a palette often favored for clear water scenarios. This specific specimen remains unused in its original blister pack, which proudly displays the 'Made in U.S.A.' heritage and the Luck 'E' Strike brand identity from Cassville. Designed as a floating lure, it is built to operate at depths of 1 to 3 ft (0.3 - 0.9 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling. Collectors will note the inclusion of the KEN International Inc. branding on the card reverse, a detail that points to its historical export context. Whether you are targeting perch, pike, or asp, the construction of this model remains a testament to the Luck 'E' Strike legacy. The hardware consists of standard trebles, and the item is cataloged under product code 21496.
