Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XPS Lazer Eye Minnow, 3/32oz silver/blue fishing lure #23281

A shimmering silver/blue scale pattern defines this 3/32oz (3g) specimen, a staple for anglers targeting perch and pike in shallower reaches. Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7cm), the Bass Pro Shops XPS Lazer Eye Minnow is built for casting and twitching techniques, specifically designed to reach a depth of 2.6 ft (0.8 m). The 'Lazer Eye' designation is clear in the vibrant red eyes that provide a distinct focal point against the metallic silver body. This particular lure, carrying product code 23281, maintains a 5/5 condition rating, appearing remarkably well-preserved with sharp hardware and a clean finish. The floating nature of the body makes it suitable for working over submerged structure. Note the XPS branding on the back, applied in gold lettering, which was a hallmark of the Bass Pro Shops Extreme Performance Series during this production period.
