Vintage Wood's Lures Woods Deep R Doodle Series 300, 2/5oz Smoky Joe ​ fishing lure #18001

Sporting the classic Smoky Joe pattern, this specimen features a dark, almost black back that fades into a distinctive honeycomb scale pattern on its sides. This vintage Woods Deep R Doodle Series 300, product code 18001, is a piece of American fishing history from the 1970s. Crafted from wood, the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body has a teardrop shape designed for deep-water presentations. The large, silver-toned metal diving lip is securely fastened to the nose with three screws, anchored by a sturdy line tie. Its eyes are painted in a high-contrast yellow with black pupils, a hallmark of mid-century lure design. The finish shows signs of a life well-spent on the water, with honest wear on the hardware and belly, earning it a 3/5 condition rating. Equipped with two silver-colored treble hooks, the lure weighs in at 2/5 oz (12 g). The Series 300 was a staple for anglers targeting depth, and this floating model showcases the craftsmanship of Wood's Lures out of the USA.
