Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Craft Flash minnow 120 MR Suspending, 3/5oz MR Aurora Black fishing lure #18806

Silver and iridescent scales define the MR Aurora Black finish on this Japanese-made jerkbait. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), the Lucky Craft Flash minnow 120 MR Suspending features a segmented "Live tail" section near the rear, designed to provide structural flexibility. This characteristic helps reduce the leverage a fish can apply against the body during a fight. Within the 4 3/4" (12 cm) frame, Lucky Craft integrated a weight transfer system specifically to maximize casting distance. This specimen, identified by product code 18806, remains in 5/5 condition, appearing completely unused with its original hardware and feathered tail hook intact. The MR Aurora Black color pattern creates a realistic flash, while the larger body profile distinguishes it from the standard Flash Minnow series. Engineered as a suspending lure, it is designed to hold its position in the water column during pauses in the retrieve.
