Vintage Other Vintage Handcrafted crankbait wooden fishing lure, 3/5oz fishing lure #22091

Gold-hued paint with a meticulously hand-applied black scale pattern defines the upper half of this artisan-made wooden body. Tipping the scales at 3/5oz (17g), this 3" (7.5cm) crankbait showcases the dedication of early American lure makers to custom craftsmanship. The prominent red accents around the gill area and the matching red diving lip provide a striking contrast against the pale yellow underbelly. Two aged treble hooks are secured via screw-eye hardware, typical of mid-century handcrafted designs from the USA. Identified in the collection as product code 22091, the lure features glass-like painted eyes with deep red irises and black pupils, a hallmark of traditional folk-art fishing tackle. Its condition is rated at 5/5, showing remarkably well-preserved surfaces and hardware for its age. The carved wooden lip is integrated into the body design, finished in a deep red that flows from the lower jaw area.
