Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Premier Plus Spinnerbait Colorado, 2/5oz gold spinning lure #18224

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11.3 g), this American-made hardware represents a classic era of Strike King design. The Strike King Premier Plus Spinnerbait Colorado, identified by product code 18224, features a vibrant chartreuse head and a dense silicone skirt interspersed with green glitter strands. Two gold-finished Colorado blades are rigged on the wire frame; the upper blade is attached via a swivel, while the lower blade sits behind a small red spacer bead. This specimen is in pristine, unused condition, rated 5/5, showing zero wear on the painted head or the metal plating. In low-light conditions, the chartreuse pigment in the head and skirt reveals its luminescent properties, glowing brightly as a technical feature for visibility. The integrated hook remains sharp, nested within the multi-strand skirt and behind the molded head that features a simple painted eye profile.
