Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Craft Sammy 100, 1/2oz fishing lure #15554

A deep blue mackerel pattern stretches across the 4" (10 cm) profile of this classic topwater walker. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the Lucky Craft Sammy 100 is engineered for long-distance casting and high-precision surface presentation. The head design features a slight cupped face that allows it to displace water while moving through the surface film. This specific 15554 model carries a highly detailed scale texture on the lower half of the body, meeting a dark, wavy-lined back characteristic of saltwater forage. The hardware consists of two sharp trebles secured by durable split rings, showing no signs of wear. Lucky Craft's Japanese manufacturing standards are evident in the clarity of the large, golden-rimmed eyes. This specimen maintains an excellent appearance, easily warranting a 5/5 rating.
