Museum Archive: Vintage Suick Cisco Kid Jointed, 3/16oz Perch fishing lure #8830

Vertical dark stripes over a green-to-cream gradient characterize the Perch finish of this Suick Cisco Kid Jointed, a compact lure originating from the USA. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (5.5 g), this specimen under product code 8830 represents a classic mid-century design with its distinct two-section body. The prominent metal diving lip is clearly stamped with the "CISCO KID" name and provides a secure attachment point for the line tie hardware. Its construction features a metal-to-metal joint that allows for a break in the lure's profile. Painted yellow eyes with black centers stand out against the olive-toned head. This piece is in exceptional state with a 5/5 rating, showing very clean surfaces and the original belly and tail treble hooks. The metal lip is precision-angled to facilitate a diving depth when cast or trolled.
