Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Rattling Kwikfish K15, 3/4oz Bubba fishing lure #19462

Silver chrome plating covers the majority of this 5" (12.5cm) body, accented by the distinctive 'Bubba' pattern of bright orange lightning bolts across the sides. Designed for both casting and trolling, this Luhr Jensen Rattling Kwikfish K15, cataloged under Product Code 19462, is a staple for targeting salmon, steelhead, and large trout. The 3/4oz (21g) weight provides the necessary ballast to reach depths up to 16.4 ft (5m) when pulled behind a boat. Its hardware configuration is particularly noteworthy, featuring a bead-chain extension for the single hook intended to improve strike-to-land ratios on hard-hitting fish. The finish on this specific specimen is rated at 4/5, exhibiting some honest surface wear and chrome loss from previous use while maintaining the vibrancy of the orange accents. An internal rattling mechanism provides a sonic element to the lure's construction, complementing the high-visibility tail section and red eye details. This lure remains a functional piece of tackle history for any angler pursuing pike or heavy salmonids.
