Museum Archive: Atlantic Lures Flashtail, 1/3oz fishing lure #14974

Vibrant orange-red paint with bold black spotting defines the visual profile of the Atlantic Lures Flashtail, carrying Product Code 14974. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 1/3oz (9g), the lure features a specialized tail section intended to serve as a primary attack zone for pike and perch. This sinking lure remains in its original vintage blister pack from the Four Seasons company of Chicago, preserving it in unused condition. The technical design includes a metal diving lip and belly-mounted treble hooks, tailored for a super-active sinking presentation. According to the original instructions on the card back, anglers were encouraged to use a countdown method to navigate the lure safely over deep weed beds. Made in the USA, the construction highlights a classic mid-century approach to multi-part lure bodies, where the rear segment provides a distinct visual contrast to the main body.
