Vintage Lures STRIKER LUREs SQUID ancient fishing accessory rare stock

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of two old fishing lures, still in their original packaging, from the STRIKER LUREs brand. These are "SQUID" models, as indicated by the orange label on the blister pack. Each lure has an elongated, squid-like shape, with a rounded head and long, flexible appendages. Both lures are colored in bright, contrasting tones: one is mainly pink with white accents, the other blue with light stripes. The heads feature a stylized eye pattern, typical of lures designed to imitate cephalopods for sea or freshwater fishing.

The well-preserved original packaging features the STRIKER brand in black letters on a yellow background, with the stylized "LUREs" mentioned below. The top of the blister pack also has a handwritten sticker indicating an old price, as well as "CODE NO" and "COLOUR NO" areas, partially filled in by hand. The overall presentation suggests a store fishing accessory from old, unused stock.

On the visible side, the lures are held in a translucent plastic bag, preserving their original condition. No signs of wear or deformation are visible through the blister pack, and the colors remain vibrant. The lures' finish shows a smooth and flexible texture, suitable for realistic movements underwater.

Their retro design and typical packaging from past decades suggest production likely between the late 20th century and the early 1990s, which enhances their appeal for enthusiasts of vintage fishing gear or thematic decoration.

The legible inscriptions are: "STRIKER", "LUREs", "SQUID". The other handwritten notes are partially visible but not entirely decipherable on this side.

Condition

Did you know? Soft squid-shaped lures are particularly popular for catching marine predators such as sea bass or pollock. Their tentacled shape perfectly imitates the natural movement of a cephalopod, making these accessories effective for attracting predatory fish in many fishing conditions.
