Vintage Lazy Ike Natural Ike , 1/3oz fishing lure #14284

Rich, dark mottling over an amber base defines the finish on this specimen, a model born from the Kautzky Manufacturing Company’s legacy of realism. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the lure features an intricately textured pattern designed to mimic natural prey, a hallmark of the brand after they transitioned from wooden bodies to durable plastic in the 1960s. The clear, oversized diving lip is prominently stamped with the "Natural Ike" logo, an essential detail for identifying product code 14284. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the body is rigged with two bronzed treble hooks that remain sharp and properly seated in their belly and tail hangers. This lure carries a 5/5 condition rating, showing a clean surface and a perfectly transparent bib without clouding. Its profile reflects the mid-century American push toward lures that maintained the aesthetic quality of Joseph Kautzky’s original hand-carved designs. The line tie is secured directly through the plastic lip, a construction detail intended for deep-diving presentations.
