Museum Archive: Bass Pro Shops XPS Lazer Eye Deep Diver, 2/5oz fishing lure #11558

Shimmering silver scales wrap around the sides of this deep-diving lure, accented by a distinct black shad dot on the flank and a vivid red patch under the throat. Coming from the Extreme Performance Series (XPS) by Bass Pro Shops, the Lazer Eye Deep Diver is designed for reaching depths up to 16.4 ft (5 m). This unused specimen, carrying product code 11558, measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and weighs 2/5 oz (12 g). The hardware remains in pristine condition, featuring two sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings. A large, clear diving lip is integrated into the head, positioned just below the realistic gold and black 3D eyes that give the series its name. The black paint on the dorsal side fades cleanly into the silver scales, creating a classic baitfish profile. This American-made lure exhibits no signs of use or wear, maintaining its original finish from head to tail.
