Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Spence Scout, 3/8oz fishing lure #19477

Silver scale patterns across the body of this 3/8oz (10.5g) specimen highlight the detailed finishing Strike King applied to their early wood lures. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the Strike King Spence Scout (Product Code: 19477) is built with a sturdy metal diving lip intended for depths of 1-3ft (0.3-0.9 m). The wooden body displays a classic honeycomb scale texture over a silver-to-white gradient, complemented by the characteristic large, dark eyes. On the belly, the hardware is fastened with traditional screws, securing the hook hangers to the floating frame. This lure maintains a 3/5 condition rating, presenting a soft, lived-in appearance while keeping all mechanical components functional. The metal lip is distinctively shaped, leading into the rounded profile of the lure's head.
