Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special Minnow , 2/5oz White / Yellow fishing lure #8473

Dressing the 4 1/4" (11 cm) body, a series of muted grey vertical bars contrast against the white sides and soft yellow spine. This Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special Minnow, cataloged under product code 8473, is a suspending model weighted at 2/5oz (12g) for precise depth control. A clear diving lip allows it to reach depths of 3ft (0.9 m), making it a versatile choice for shallow-water pike and perch. Near the head, a bright orange chin accentuates the realistic eyes with dark pupils, while two sturdy treble hooks are mounted via silver-tone split rings. The finish is remarkably clean and well-maintained, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its visual clarity and hardware integrity.
