Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Red Eye Shad , 1/2oz Sexy Shad with different Eyes fishing lure #12790

Tipping the scales at 1/2oz (14g), this Strike King Red Eye Shad features a distinctive mismatched eye design—one deep red and one amber-yellow—on its 2 1/2" (6.5cm) body. The Sexy Shad color pattern is well-executed here, sporting a dark grayish-blue back that transitions through a bold yellow lateral line into a pearlescent white belly. Identified by product code 12790, this sinking rattlin-style lure is designed for a variable depth, making it a versatile tool for casting or trolling when targeting species like pike, zander, or perch. A fine mesh scale pattern covers the upper half of the lure, catching the light while a dark shoulder spot adds to the realism. The finish is in 4/5 condition, showing only light signs of handling while maintaining its original luster. Dark bronze treble hooks are attached via heavy-duty split rings, and the flat-sided shad profile remains a hallmark of this model, designed to stay stable during various retrieve speeds.
