Vintage Other Vintage Handcrafted crankbait wooden fishing lure, 3/5oz fishing lure #22090

Weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), the dense wooden construction of this specimen reflects the traditional craftsmanship of independent lure makers in the USA. A vibrant green honeycomb scale pattern is meticulously applied across the arched back, transitioning into a warm yellow-gold belly. Measuring exactly 3" (7.5cm), the lure features a distinctive curved profile and a small metal diving lip anchored firmly in the nose. The face is detailed with a striking red eye and black pupil, located just behind a top-mounted line tie eyelet. Identified by product code 22090, this handcrafted crankbait utilizes a unique hardware configuration featuring a red treble hook on the belly and a bronze-finished treble at the tail. Rated at 5/5, the finish remains remarkably well-preserved and smooth across the entire wooden body. The specific scale stencil work and the combination of colored hardware are hallmarks of small-batch production from this era.
