Museum Archive: Vintage Producers Deep Z , 1/2oz Red Tiger fishing lure #12665

Weighted at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Producers Deep Z is a robust American-made crankbait designed for reaching deeper water columns. The Red Tiger finish features a high-visibility orange base contrasted by a dark back and vertical side stripes that provide a classic predatory silhouette. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with an elongated, integrated diving lip in matching orange, which helps the body reach its intended depth during a steady retrieve. Its hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks and a sturdy line tie ring on the bill. Rated at 4/5, the specimen remains in very clean shape with only minor signs of age, and the yellow-and-black painted eyes are still crisp. Collectors and anglers will recognize this specific model by the product code 12665, marking it as a dependable deep-diving tool in the Producers lineup.
