Museum Archive: Bass Pro Shops soft bait, Brown fishing #6486

Brown flake-infused plastic characterizes these Salty Tender Tubes, a staple of the Bass Pro Shops Tournament Series. Designated by product code 6486, these 3 1/2 inch (9 cm) soft baits were manufactured in the USA for specialized jigging and Texas rigging applications. The material is a semi-translucent brown heavily impregnated with salt and small flakes of black and orange glitter. This specific lot consists of 7 individual lures, all of which are unused and retain their original soft, salted texture. The design features a cylindrical hollow body that transitions into a multi-strand tentacle tail, creating a unique profile when positioned on the bottom. Each lure remains in its original factory packaging, preserving the scent and salt content essential for this type of soft plastic bait.
