Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Dance N Shad, 1/3oz Golden Glitter fishing lure #8893

Golden Glitter finishes like the one on this Strike King Dance N Shad, product code 8893, provide high visibility for deep-water trolling. Carved from Jelutong wood, this 1/3oz (10g) floating lure measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and is weighted to reach depths of up to 6.5ft (2m). The body profile is defined by its deep belly and a large, clear plastic bill set at a steep angle to pull the lure down. A heavy metallic gold flake covers the sides, accented by distinct black vertical stripes and a solid dark back. Simple yellow eyes with black pupils are painted just forward of the lip slot. Both the belly and tail treble hooks are original, showing slight age-related darkening that aligns with a 4/5 condition rating. A split ring is attached directly to the line tie on the bill to ensure stability during a steady retrieve.
