Up for sale is an authentic piece of West Coast offshore history: a vintage 1990s custom-poured big game trolling lure. Hand-crafted during the golden era of Southern California custom tackle builds, this unbranded 9-inch bullet nose head perfectly embodies the classic SoCal aesthetic. LURE SPECIFICATIONS & HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: • Brand: Southern California Custom / Unbranded Vintage Hand-Pour • Era: Late 1980s to Mid-1990s • Head Style: Pure Lightweight Resin Bullet Nose / Sub-Surface Straight Runner (No heavy lead keel) • Head Inserts: Retro gold geometric sequin scale prism foil sheeting • Feature Details: Iconic oversized red & black craft "doll eyes" embedded deep under the clear pour • New Skirt Colorway: High-visibility Glitter Chartreuse Green over Neon Yellow / Rocket Orange accents • Total Length: Approx. 9" Inches (Fully skirted) • Target Species: Wahoo, Tuna (Albacore, Bluefin, Yellowfin), Mahi-Mahi, and Striped Marlin RE-SKIRTING & COLLECTOR NOTE: This head originally featured classic, old-school factory-wrapped yellow chicken feathers. The old, decaying organic material has been completely cleared off the saddle, and the head has been upgraded with a brand-new, premium dual-layer vinyl skirt setup. Because it features a pure resin head without a dense internal lead slug, it sits beautifully light in the water, tracking arrow-straight through heavy chop at high speeds without tumbling. CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition! The hard resin head retains great structural integrity with no deep cracks, structural fractures, or severe bill-impact chips. The clear resin has naturally aged to a beautiful light golden-amber patina that collectors look for as a badge of authenticity. The fresh vinyl skirts are completely supple, vibrant, and free of dry-cracking. Lure comes unrigged and ready to drop right into your active rotation or vintage display case.
