Museum Archive: AAT The Pro's Choice soft bait 2 pcs, Pearl fishing #9658

Pearl is the primary hue of this 5" (12.7 cm) shad-style soft plastic, a classic choice for mimicking forage in various water conditions. Cataloged under product code 9658, these lures from Advanced Angling Technology (AAT) represent a significant period in tackle history when manufacturers began focusing on biodegradable materials. The packaging specifies a "Green Friendly" construction and the inclusion of NitroPro scent, a feature designed to enhance the bait's profile for jigging. This specimen is unused, preserved in its original zip-top bag featuring the distinctive red, white, and blue AAT branding. Each lure features a deep belly profile and a substantial paddle tail, characteristic of American-made swimbaits. The manufacturer, Pro's Choice, positioned these as high-performance tools for serious anglers, emphasizing the "Made in the U.S.A." origin. The pearl finish maintains its original luster, and the soft plastic remains flexible and clear.
