Museum Archive: Strike King Rocket Shad Spinnerbait, 2/5oz Silver spinning lure #11448

Silver finishes on the lead head and blade define the aesthetic of this vintage Strike King Rocket Shad Spinnerbait. This specific specimen, identified by product code RS38-12, weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length. It features a single polished blade connected by a ball-bearing swivel, which is designed for smooth rotation. The lure is housed in its original red and yellow blister packaging and remains in unused condition (rating: 6). Manufactured in Costa Rica, the design includes a detailed shad-shaped head with a realistic eye and a dense white and silver silicone skirt. Collectors will notice the branding features professional angler Shaw Grigsby on the front card. The wire frame construction is intended for long-distance casting and rapid retrieves, making it a functional choice for targeting schooling fish. The back of the packaging notes its effectiveness as a drop bait, utilizing the weighted body to reach specific depths quickly.
