Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XPS Floating, 1/4oz Rainbow fishing lure #7768

Measuring exactly 3 1/2" (9 cm), this slender profile is a hallmark of the Bass Pro Shops XPS Floating series. The "Rainbow" color pattern on this specimen, designated with product code 7768, features a vibrant blue top transitioning into silver-hued, holographic sides with distinct vertical textured detailing. A subtle orange splash is positioned under the throat area, just behind the small clear lip that limits diving depth to approximately 2.6 ft (0.8 m). At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), it is balanced for casting and twitching techniques aimed at perch or pike in shallower environments. The hardware includes two bright treble hooks that remain in pristine shape, reflecting its status as an unused item. This American-engineered lure from the Crystal series represents a clean example of reliable, functional tackle design.
