Museum Archive: Vintage Other Bass Pro Shops Deep Diver, 1/2oz fishing lure #11556

Gold metallic paint contrasted by black vertical tiger stripes covers the body of this deep-running crankbait, cataloged under product code 11556. This specimen from Bass Pro Shops weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm), featuring an elongated clear lip designed to reach depths of up to 16.4 ft (5 m). The paint scheme is complemented by fine red gill highlights and a silver-toned underside near the chin. Its hardware includes two round-bend treble hooks in a clean silver finish, mounted to the belly and tail. Presented in 5/5 condition, the lure retains its original luster across the gold-scale finish and the transparent plastic of the diving bill.
