Museum Archive: Vintage SPRO Spro Aruku Shad, 2/5oz fishing lure #15111

Silver scales and a deep blue back define the classic shad profile of this particular lipless crankbait from SPRO. Rated at 5/5, the specimen exhibits a well-preserved chrome finish and crisp detailing across its molded gill plates and textured sides. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure features a signature red accent at the throat and a distinct black shad spot behind the realistic eye. The construction of the Aruku Shad, identified by Product Code 15111, includes a top-mounted line tie and two sharp black treble hooks. This USA-sourced model is engineered to sit nose-down when resting on the bottom, a design intended to mimic a feeding baitfish while preventing the hooks from snagging. The flat-head surface and weighted body are specifically balanced for casting distance and vertical presentation.
