Museum Archive: Luck E Strike Shallow Rick Clunn Series, 1/4oz fishing lure #16311

Weighing in at exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), this shallow-running crankbait represents a notable piece of American angling history from the Rick Clunn Classics lineup. The 2" (5 cm) body features a classic gizzard shad-inspired palette, with a creamy white belly transitioning into a scaled silver-grey back, accented by a distinct line of red dots along the lateral midline. Finding this Luck E Strike specimen in its original packaging reveals an unused 16311 model, with the hardware and finish remaining in factory-fresh condition. Designed for depths between 3-4 ft (0.9-1.2 m), the lure's compact profile and integrated lip make it a technical choice for both casting and trolling in shallow cover. The lure is equipped with sharp treble hooks and a sturdy belly hanger, maintaining the build quality Luck E Strike established for their USA-made products. Rick Clunn’s signature "RC" branding on the packaging marks its association with the legendary bass angler's specific requirements for shallow-water cranking.
