Up for auction/sale is a highly prized, museum-grade Vintage Sadu Lures 4" Heavy Blinker Bullet Trolling Lure (approx. 12" overall profile), individually handcrafted in Kona, Hawaii by the legendary Captain Sadu Frehm. This absolute collectors' centerpiece is beautifully preserved, featuring the iconic "Sadu" signature logo script cast inside the head and sporting its 100% original factory-poured Sadu skirts.
The Historic Sadu Electronic "Blinker" Design:
This is Sadu Frehm’s famous electronic configuration where true battery-powered LED components were cast directly into the heavy resin core. Designed to activate automatically when wet, the internal LEDs flash to create an irresistible pulsing light trail deep within the prop wash. (Note: Due to the age of these vintage electronic pieces, the original internal batteries are typically dormant/not blinking, sold strictly as an authentic historic collector's item) [1].

Trolling & Collection Value:
Sadu’s 7-ounce heavy-ballast bullets are world-renowned for their ability to sit down firmly below the surface wash in heavy swells without spinning or skittering out. Combined with the flash of the silver prism core, the red strike point, and the historical LED circuitry, this is an apex addition to any serious big game tackle collection or high-end tournament spread.
