Museum Archive: Vintage Other Vintage Ryobi IX0 Flagger R High Sinking Lipless crankbait, 1oz pink fishing lure #19071

Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (25g), this lipless crankbait is engineered for the deep-water applications Ryobi intended for its Flagger R High Sinking series. The Japanese-made body spans 2 3/4" (7cm) and features a distinctive pink gradient along the spine that transitions into a shimmering, scale-textured white finish. Looking closely at the head, the clean white face is accented by a sharp, black eye with a silver rim, a hallmark of the 19071 product code's attention to detail. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing that the original hardware—including two stout treble hooks—is remarkably preserved. Designed as a variable-depth rattlin, it can be worked at various levels throughout the water column depending on the retrieve, making it a versatile choice for species ranging from Asp and Zander to Pike. The high sinking nature of the Flagger R allows for deep-water casting where traditional lures might struggle to reach.
