Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Red Eyed Spinnerbaits , 3/4oz spinning lure #23566

Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), this American-made spinnerbait highlights the classic "Red Eye" design detail on its white lead head. Strike King, a veteran manufacturer in the USA fishing scene, designed these lures for visibility in various water conditions. The hardware on this specific specimen, product code 23566, includes a tandem set of silver willow blades paired with a combination of metallic and orange spacer beads on the upper arm. Its skirt is a clean white silicone infused with fine silver glitter, secured with two distinct red bands that match the ocular accents on the weighted head. The wire frame is resilient, providing a sturdy foundation for the heavy-duty hook. In a solid 4/5 condition, the lure shows very light evidence of handling while retaining all its original components and bright luster. The silver willow blades remain polished, ensuring they catch light effectively during a steady retrieve through different water columns.
