Bluewater Runners octopus vintage rare new old stock fishing lure

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes two Bluewater Runners brand fishing lures, "Octopus" model, presented in their original sealed packaging. The lures are visible through a clear plastic pouch, revealing an elongated shape reminiscent of a squid or octopus, with a two-tone brown and yellow finish and round eyes painted in white and black. The head and upper part of the lures are accentuated by a color contrast, while the tentacles are elongated and flexible, typical of soft lures intended for sea fishing.

The blue cardboard packaging bears the inscription "Bluewater Runners," as well as the following handwritten information: "NAME: OCTOPUS", "CODE: OC1712", "QTY: 2". A glued label also indicates the original price and the mention "Piece". The top of the packaging has a hanging hole, characteristic of vintage store fishing accessories.

The lures are in excellent visual condition, never having been opened or used. The shiny and translucent appearance of the material suggests a flexible composition, suitable for imitating marine prey. The yellow color provides additional visibility underwater, while the brown and eye details enhance the attractive effect for carnivorous fish.

The original blister packaging, as well as the graphics and layout of the label, are typical of 80s-90s fishing accessories. The mention "Made in Madagascar" appears at the bottom right of the card, attesting to a specific manufacturing for the Bluewater brand.

This type of lure is mainly used for big-game fishing or trolling in the sea, targeting species such as tuna, mahi-mahi, or swordfish. The flexibility of the tentacles and the realism of the eye are sought-after assets for attracting marine predators.

Condition

New old stock item, never opened. Original sealed packaging, minimal traces of wear due to possible storage on the cardboard card (slightly marked corners).

Did you know? Soft "octopus" type lures are particularly popular for sea sports fishing because their natural movement in the water perfectly mimics that of small prey, thus increasing the chances of attack by predatory fish. The Bluewater Runners brand is known for its robust accessories adapted to tropical fishing.
