Museum Archive: Vintage Luck E Strike Rogers Big Jim , 1/4oz Bass fishing lure #21710

A 1/4 oz (7 g) weight gives this floating crankbait the ideal mass for precise casting or light trolling in shallow waters. Found here in its original 'Made in U.S.A.' packaging from Cassville, Missouri, the Luck E Strike Rogers Big Jim is a standout for fans of vintage American plastic lures. The 'Baby Bass' (BJ-6) color pattern features a subtle green-to-cream gradient with dark lateral spots, mimicking a juvenile bass for predators like perch, pike, and asp. Designed for a diving depth between 1-3 ft (0.3-0.9 m), the 2" (5 cm) body is equipped with a short bill suited for navigating the upper water column. This specimen carries the product code 21710 and remains in its original blister card, ensuring the hardware and finish are exactly as they left the factory. As an unused specimen, the lure is in pristine condition. The clear plastic packaging still displays the patriotic flag motif and the diverse lure silhouettes of the Rogers line on the front card, including the specific BJ-6 designation on the reverse label.
