Museum Archive: Vintage Suick Muskie Cisco Kid​, 1 1/4oz Black fishing lure #7945

Stamped with the iconic model name on its substantial metal lip, this deep-diving Muskie Cisco Kid is a heavy-duty specimen built for targeting large predators. Weighing 1 1/4 oz (35g) and measuring 6 3/4" (17cm) in length, this Suick production—product code 7945—commands attention with its solid black finish. The body features simple, high-contrast white eyes and is rigged with three robust treble hooks secured by classic metal hardware. Presented in 4/5 condition, the lure remains remarkably clean, showing only light evidence of its age while maintaining the structural integrity needed for deep trolling or casting. The metal lip is firmly attached with three screws, a design feature intended to keep the lure tracking straight through the water column. This specific model represents the rugged construction characteristic of mid-century musky tackle, where durability was paramount for deep-water presentations.
