Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this 1980s vintage Strike King Diamond Shad features a classic Dark Red scale finish. The lipless, sinking body measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and is designed for variable depth applications, making it a versatile choice for casting or trolling. This specimen, identified by product code 10019, is in 5/5 condition. The paint job includes a deep black spine that transitions into red sides with a detailed scale texture and a prominent black kill spot. Its original hardware consists of two treble hooks with bronze-gold shanks and a split ring at the dorsal line tie. Orange eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point on the lure's head. It is commonly used for targeting predatory species such as pike, walleye, and perch.
