Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Craft Pointer 78, 1/3oz fishing lure #15090

Translucent gold and tan hues define the appearance of this specimen, which mimics the subtle flash of natural baitfish. The 3" (7.8 cm) frame is paired with a 1/3 oz (9.2 g) weight, reflecting the precision-tuned Japanese craftsmanship associated with product code 15090. Equipped with two black nickel treble hooks and a clear diving bill, it is rated to reach depths of 4–5 ft (1.2–1.5 m) during a retrieve. The finish is in 5/5 condition, displaying no signs of use on the delicate scale textures or the large, realistic eyes. Visible internal components through the sides highlight the technical assembly required to achieve its specific buoyancy and balance in the water.
