Soft lure Striker Bulb Squid vintage old fishing accessory stock

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This soft lure from the Striker brand is presented in its original sealed packaging, typical of old stock fishing accessories. The packaging features a bright yellow cardboard label with the "STRIKER" logo in black, clearly legible on the upper part. Beneath the transparent plastic packaging, an elongated lure is visible, clearly imitating a squid or whelk with its many soft appendages resembling cephalopod tentacles. The visible color is a solid off-white, interspersed with discreet micro-glitters that enhance the lure's shimmering appearance. A contrasting black and white eye is affixed to the upper part, reinforcing the realism of the imitation.

The round label inside the packaging bears the inscription "BULB SQUID," indicating the lure's model. No hook or metallic accessory is visible through the packaging, suggesting that it is a soft lure to be rigged by oneself, typical of fishing accessories for predators or sea fishing.

The lure's texture appears smooth, with slight asperities likely due to the soft and flexible material. The overall design evokes fishing productions from the late 20th century, with a simple and functional style and a discreet color palette — a choice often preferred for lures intended for clear waters or for fishing wary fish.

Soft lures of this type are sought after for their versatility and effectiveness on many marine or freshwater species. The original packaging, in apparent good condition, indicates that it is unused old stock, which is rare for this type of accessory.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Original sealed packaging, minimal wear visible on the plastic, with no apparent tears. The lure inside appears intact, unused.

Did you know? Soft lures imitating squid or octopus are widely used in sport fishing, particularly for trolling or casting in the sea. Their great flexibility and natural movement in the water make them particularly attractive to species such as sea bass, pollack, or bonito.
