Museum Archive: Vintage Suick Cisco Kid, 1/4oz fishing lure #15496

Stamped clearly into the metal diving lip, the 'CISCO KID' nameplate identifies this American-made classic from Suick. This 2" (5 cm) lure features a deep green back that transitions into golden, scale-patterned sides, accented by a bold red gill slash near the head. A bright yellow eye with a crisp black pupil provides a distinct focal point on the profile. Weighing 1/4 oz (6.5 g), the specimen includes its original wire leader assembly with the characteristic coil spring hardware. Cataloged under product code 15496, the item remains in 5/5 condition, with the paint and hardware showing a remarkably clean finish. The hardware configuration consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks and a rounded metal bill intended for casting and trolling techniques.
