Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Diamond Shad, 1/2oz Silver fishing lure #14726

Diamond-shaped texturing covers the flanks of this vintage Strike King Diamond Shad, catching light across its reflective silver surface. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), the body transitions into a bold blue back, an iconic color scheme for these 1970s USA-made lures. This sinking lipless rattlin is designed for fishing at variable depths, making it effective for casting or trolling when targeting species such as pike, perch, or salmon. At a weight of 1/2 oz (14 g), the flat-sided profile is punctuated by high-contrast yellow eyes and original treble hooks. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its lustrous finish and structural integrity. Identification for this piece is tracked via product code 14726. An internal rattle mechanism provides a sonic presence within the water column.
