Rickards Indian Buck Lure #500 1.25 Oz.

The Rickards Indian Buck Lure #500 1.25 oz is a time-tested freshwater casting lure designed for anglers targeting medium-sized game fish in riverine environments. Built by Pete Rickard, a legendary name in lure manufacturing, this compact casting lure delivers the performance serious anglers have relied on for decades. Whether you're working shallow flats, drop-offs, or structure-heavy areas from a boat or shore, the Indian Buck Lure #500 provides the castability and fish-attracting action that keeps tackle boxes stocked.

At 1.25 ounces, this lure achieves the optimal weight-to-size ratio for accurate long-distance casting without sacrificing underwater action and vibration patterns that trigger predatory strikes. The compact profile and balanced weight distribution make it effective when covering water quickly—critical when you're running multiple structures or timing feeding windows. Pete Rickard's construction philosophy emphasizes reliability, with finishes and hardware engineered to withstand repeated exposure to aggressive fish.

This lure excels for experienced anglers targeting species such as large bass and pike during active feeding windows. Its proven action profile produces the flash and disturbance necessary to attract attention in varying water clarity and depth conditions. The size and weight make it ideal for casting from boats and working structure effectively.
