Museum Archive: Vintage Suick Cisco Kid, 1/3oz Black fishing lure #16779

Solid black paint covers the entirety of this 2" (5 cm) body, providing a stark silhouette for those low-light or stained water conditions. This vintage Suick Cisco Kid, identified by product code 16779, is a classic piece of USA tackle history weighing in at 1/3 oz (9.5 g). A prominent feature of this specimen is the oversized, heart-shaped metal diving lip clearly stamped with the "CISCO KID" name, which comes equipped with a factory-integrated wire leader and snap. The color scheme is minimalist but effective, featuring painted white eyes with black pupils and a single white vertical stripe marking the gill area. The hardware includes two treble hooks that remain sturdy and well-attached. Collectors will appreciate the 5/5 condition, as the finish remains exceptionally smooth and reflective. This build is a testament to Suick's legacy of manufacturing rugged lures meant for casting or trolling, showcasing the traditional metal-lip design used to reach deeper water.
