Museum Archive: Vintage Reaction Strike Suspending, 1/2oz Ayu fishing lure #19016

Featuring a classic Ayu pattern, this Reaction Strike Suspending jerkbait showcases a subtle olive back transitioning into scaled silver sides and a distinctive yellow lateral spot. Measuring 4 in (10 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this model (Product Code: 19016) is designed with neutral buoyancy that allows it to suspend effectively at depths of 1 to 4 ft (0.3 - 1.2 m). Inside the body lies a specialized weight transfer system that produces a low-frequency thud rather than a traditional high-pitched rattle, offering a different acoustic profile for pressured fish. The side of the lure is clearly stamped with the 'REACTION STRIKE SUSPENDING' mark in clean black lettering, and the throat area features a soft pink accent just behind the clear diving lip. Equipped with two dark-finished treble hooks, it is best utilized with line weights ranging from 4 to 20 lb for casting or trolling. Given its 5/5 rating, the finish remains bright across the scales and the hardware is in excellent state. Originally manufactured in the USA, this specimen represents the larger counterpart to the brand's XRM 80 series.
