JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKER, 3 " SILVER SCALE MODEL, W - BUCK TAIL,

THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS LURE...ALL OF THE JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKERS HAVE A PAINT PROBLEM IN THAT THE PAINT EASILY FLAKES OFF. THIS LURE IS THE BEST JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKER I'VE EVER SEEN. NO PAINT LOSS AT ALL, IT ONLY HAS TWO LIGHT HOOK POINTERS ON RIGHT SIDE AT THE PAINTED FIN. IT ALSO HAS THE BUCK TAIL, WHICH IS USUALLY MISSING. NOT MANY OF THIS LURE WERE MADE BECAUSE THEY WERE SO INTRICATE TO MAKE. THE 1935 PRICE QUOTED ON THEIR LITERATURE IS $2.50 FOR THIS LURE...IN TODAY...'S DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE $46.29 SO YOU ALMOST WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OUT A LOAN TO BUY ONE. I GUESS JOHNSON NEVER HEARD OF THE K-I-S-S RULE. THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE LURE...THIS LURE IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE 3" J.A.S. SERIES.
