Museum Archive: Atlantic Lures Flashtail, 1/3oz Black / Yellow / Red fishing lure #14210

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this sinking lure features a striking black finish accented by a bold yellow lightning bolt across its side. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the Atlantic Lures Flashtail is designed with a specialized attack zone—a translucent red tail intended to draw the attention of predators like pike and perch. This specimen remains unused in its original blister packaging, which identifies it as Stock No. 830, though it is cataloged here under product code 14210. The card back provides a glimpse into mid-century tackle marketing, featuring the 'Four Seasons' branding out of Chicago, Illinois, and offering classic fishing tips for counting down the sink rate over deep weed beds. For anglers targeting deeper water columns, this model is built for a super-active presentation. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook and a metallic line tie mounted to the top of the flat-bodied profile.
