Museum Archive: Okuma Savage Gear Manic Prey, 3/4oz fishing lure #16239

A striking blue and silver scale pattern defines the aesthetic of this 4 1/4" (11 cm) hard bait, which has been out of production for several years. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (22 g), the Okuma Savage Gear Manic Prey is engineered as a floating shallow runner. This specific specimen, identified by product code 16239, remains in unused condition within its original retail packaging. The construction features an internal long-cast system to facilitate distance when casting. Visual details include a series of dark spots along the midline and vibrant yellow eyes with dark pupils that provide a clear target. The distribution label from Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp in Ontario, California, reflects its presence in the domestic tackle market. Its clear, integrated lip is designed for shallow-water presentations, keeping the lure near the surface. The hardware consists of sharp treble hooks that remain pristine inside the box.
