Vintage Strike King Prop Scout, 3/5oz fishing lure #20842

Gold glitter sparkles across the belly and sides of this Strike King Prop Scout, contrasting sharply with the deep black back that features a distinct yellow-ribbed scale pattern. Crafted from Jelutong wood, a dense and buoyant material often favored for classic topwater lures, this specific specimen (Product Code 20842) tips the scales at 3/5oz (17g). Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), the body is outfitted with dual silver-toned propellers—one at the nose and one at the tail—designed to churn the surface during a retrieve. Each prop is secured with a screw eye, typical of high-quality American-made hardware from its production era. Two sets of sharp treble hooks are mounted on the belly and tail, and the overall condition is a very clean 5/5. This USA-manufactured lure represents a period when Strike King utilized wood for its surface designs, featuring prominent yellow eyes set against the dark paint of the head.
