Product Overview:
Up for auction is a rare, highly collectible masterpiece from the golden age of Florida custom lure building. Hand-poured by Richard Groth in his legendary Destin workshop before its closure, this heavy-tackle 12" Lee Lur Jetted Bullet is built for high-speed performance on the long corner or shotgun positions.
This lure is a premium "double-pour" model—meaning the colored translucent blue and yellow resins were meticulously layered into the mold by hand rather than utilizing a simple foil insert. The face features a highly intricate, precision-drilled 5-hole jet system designed to channel water directly through the head, erupting into a massive, tightly constrained smoke and bubble trail that marlin cannot resist.
Condition Notes for Collectors:
The hand-poured clear resin has retained fantastic clarity and luster over the decades, completely avoiding the severe amber yellowing or cloudiness common in older custom tackle. There are no structural cracks or heavy bill-impact chips. The jet holes are completely clean, unobstructed, and sharp.
Whether you are looking to rig a classic piece of Florida panhandle history to catch your next tournament blue marlin, or you want a centerpiece showcase model for your vintage tackle collection, this Lee Lur is a must-have.
