Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Flashtail, 1/3oz Yellow fishing lure #9709

A vibrant yellow finish paired with a bold black lightning bolt graphic makes this specimen instantly recognizable to collectors of vintage American tackle. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the Atlantic Lures Flashtail features a distinct two-part design, where the main body connects via a metal link to a bright red tail section intended as a high-visibility attack zone. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this sinking lure is built with a stamped metal diving lip that facilitates a super active retrieval style suited for targeting perch and pike. The hardware on this product code 9709 remains in excellent shape, with the original treble hooks showing the integrity expected of a 5/5 condition rating. Proudly made in the USA, the construction highlights the innovative approach Atlantic Lures took to lure aesthetics and functionality.
