Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Diamond Shad UV, 1/2oz fishing lure #11888

A diamond-scale relief defines the sides of this vintage 3" (7.5 cm) lipless crankbait, a signature design element of the Strike King Diamond Shad. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking rattlin' lure is weighted for casting or trolling at variable depths depending on the angler's presentation. The white body is accented with a chartreuse back and houses internal noise-making components, while its UV-reactive properties allow the finish to glow in dark or deep-water conditions. This 1970s USA-made specimen, identified by product code 11888, is equipped with a striking red treble hook on the belly and a bronze-toned treble at the rear. The lure appears exceptionally well-maintained, carrying a condition rating of 5/5.
