Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops Shallow Crank, 1/4oz Light Blue XXX Shad fishing lure #7224

Weighing in at 1/4oz (8g), this compact 2" (5cm) crankbait features the distinct Light Blue XXX Shad color scheme, a staple for those targeting fish in the upper water column. The finish on this Bass Pro Shops Shallow Crank, listed as Product Code 7224, remains in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally well-preserved with no signs of use on its scale-patterned sides or the prominent black shad spot. Its internal rattle chamber provides an audible presence when working through the 3 - 4 ft (0.9 - 1.2 m) depth range. A clear diving lip is securely integrated into the head, paired with clean, silver-tone treble hooks. The Light Blue XXX Shad gradient moves from a dark, mesh-textured back into a pale yellow flank and eventually a white underside, mimicking a primary forage source with great detail. This floating model is built for shallow-water applications where keeping the lure above submerged cover is essential.
