Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XPS Lazer Eye Deep Diver Crankbait, 3/4oz Craw fishing lure #21298

Dressed in a matte Craw finish with dark segmented bands and red-rimmed 3D eyes, this specimen showcases the thoughtful design of the Bass Pro Shops XPS series. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g) with a total length of 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure is built around a wide, clear bill designed to reach depths of 14.7 ft (4.5 m). Identified by product code 21298, it utilizes a floating body and an internal rattle system suited for drawing in pike or zander during a deep troll or long cast. The hardware consists of two sharp trebles anchored by robust split rings, and the overall condition is a clean 5/5. Anglers targeting salmon or large trout often look for this specific profile to maintain contact with deeper structures. The textured scales and molded gill plate details remain crisp, showing no significant wear.
