Vintage Lazy Ike Natural Ike, 1/4oz fishing lure #17213

A mottled green and black finish covers the 2" (5 cm) frame of this classic Natural Ike. Weighing a nimble 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure features a textured, baitfish-inspired pattern and oversized dark eyes that highlight the manufacturer's commitment to realism. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 17213, bears the iconic "Natural Ike" signature stamped into its clear diving lip. While the body maintains its vibrant coloration, there is a small crack present on the lip, placing this piece at a 4/5 condition rating. The Kautzky Manufacturing Company, which evolved from a firearm business in 1897 into a legendary tackle maker, produced these plastic versions starting in the 1960s to maintain the lifelike aesthetic of their original wooden works of art. It is equipped with two sharp treble hooks, making it a complete example for any collector of American-made tackle.
