Vintage Early Suick Muskie Thriller 7” Wooden Jerkbait Topwater Lure

This is an early wooden Suick Muskie Thriller, a classic jerkbait used by muskie and northern pike anglers for decades. This example shows honest tackle-box wear, original hardware, and signs of real fishing use, all consistent with earlier hand-shaped Suicks that were not always stamped. Early lures often vary slightly in size, and this approximately 7-inch example aligns more closely with early construction than later standardized reissues.

Solid hand-shaped wooden body
Approx. 7 inches long
Metal tail fin design
Three original treble hooks with age-related rust
Hand-painted finish with wear and patina
Unstamped, consistent with early examples
Hardware intact; no cracks or rot

Vintage used condition with paint loss, surface wear, and rusty original hooks from age and use. Offered as found and not cleaned or restored. A great piece for collectors, anglers, or vintage fishing display.
