Museum Archive: Strike King Buzzbait Buzz King, 1/2oz Nickel / Chartreuse spinning lure #12891

Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (5.3 g), this Strike King Buzz King Junior remains factory-sealed in its original vintage packaging. A Nickel-finished, diamond-patterned three-blade prop characterizes the lure, engineered for surface lift and a specific squeaking sound. The vibrant Chartreuse skirt is paired with a high-carbon Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp hook, a hallmark of this era's Strike King production. Measuring approximately 4" (10 cm) in total length, the specimen—cataloged under product code 12891—was manufactured in Costa Rica. Because it is completely unused and still housed within the original yellow carding, the condition is a 6. The packaging notes the triple-blade design is meant for creating surface flash and sound even at very slow retrieve speeds.
