Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special Minnow , 1/2oz fishing lure #11378

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this floating minnow profile is engineered to reach depths of 5ft (1.5 m). The 4 1/4" (11cm) body of the Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special Minnow features a striking red head that blends seamlessly into a gold-toned back. Its silver scale-patterned sides are punctuated by two small red dots located just before the rear treble hook, a subtle trigger for pike and perch. Identified by product code 11378, this specimen incorporates an internal rattle system designed to create noise during retrieval. The clear plastic lip remains sharp and transparent, while the finish across the entire lure is remarkably clean, earning it a 5/5 condition rating. Large golden eyes with black pupils provide a focal point at the front of the lure, which is rigged with two bright, robust treble hooks.
