Museum Archive: Vortex Lures Depth Seeker, 3/5oz Red Tiger fishing lure #10792

Bold black vertical stripes characterize the Red Tiger finish on this vintage deep-diving crankbait. Produced by Vortex Lures in Kalispell, MT, this Depth Seeker (product code 10792) features a robust plastic body and a large, clear diving lip designed for reaching deeper water columns. The lure weighs 3/5 oz (17 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, equipped with traditional painted yellow eyes and dual treble hooks. This specimen remains unused in its original factory packaging, earning it a condition 6 rating. According to the original card for Model No. V7, the design incorporates a high-density ballast that creates sound and vibration while underwater. Intended for both casting and trolling in fresh or salt water, the packaging notes its effectiveness for all sight feeders and highlights the internal rattling chamber that differentiates it from standard baits.
