Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Diamond Shad, 2/5oz Mirror fishing lure #9720

Highly reflective Mirror finish plating defines this Strike King Diamond Shad, a sinking lipless crankbait from the 1980s. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) with a length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), the lure features a distinctive diamond-patterned texture embossed across the upper half of the silver body. The back is coated in a solid black, contrasting with the chrome sides and a small red accent at the chin. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 9720, is in 5/5 condition. It carries two treble hooks and features an internal rattle for use at variable depths. The painted eyes and USA-made construction are hallmark traits of this vintage Strike King series, often utilized for targeting pike, perch, or trout through casting and trolling techniques.
