Historical Notes from the 1972 Lazy Ike Catalog
Right in the prime years of Lazy Ike Corporation. Just a classic Lazy Ike catalog. From the KL-00 Fly Ike, KL-0 Tiny Ike, KL-1, KL-2 and KL-3 Lazy Ike, KL-4 Husky Ike up to the KL-5 Musky Ike. Fish catching machines.
Metallic Ikes are marked as New! Take a look at all of those Metallic Ikes. Be sure to check out all of the colors and lures they are offered in the following years. Some of these baits are ridiculously tough to find in excellent condition.
If you want to talk about tough baits to find... check out the Wigly selection. From the Wigly Crawler to the Wigly Crawfish and others. We get tons of calls from FISHERMEN looking for these baits. Collectors snap them too but apparently they are dynamite to fish.
My all-time favorite bait, the Flex-Ike has been slightly redesigned in 1972. I'm probably the only die-hard Flex Ike collector in the world so if you have some insane colors of this bait, please contact me (information in Contact Us section).
New Metallic Shark Ikes now on page 7. Just overall one of the best solid overall Lazy Ike catalogs you will find. Full of great information for collectors. A must read and must for your collection.
