Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King , 1/4oz Nickel spinning lure #17332

Nickel-finished with a hammered texture, the single blade on this specimen reflects light with the distinct shimmer typical of early Strike King production. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this spinnerbait is a fine example of American craftsmanship from the brand’s USA-based heritage. It is built on a sturdy wire frame that leads to a white lead head detailed with vibrant pink eyes. The lure is finished with a dense brown rubber skirt, whose strands are still flexible and well-preserved. Cataloged as product code 17332, the hardware is clean and the single hook remains in great shape. For a piece of its era, it shows remarkably well, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The rotation of the blade is managed by a small swivel, allowing the nickel surface to catch light consistently.
