Museum Archive: Bass Pro Shops XTS, 3/8oz fishing lure #10016

A textured honeycomb scale pattern covers the upper half of this topwater plug, transitioning into a smooth, light-colored belly. This Bass Pro Shops XTS popper, identified by product code 10016, features a deep, concave red mouth designed for surface-level engagement at 0 ft (0 m). Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) and weighing 3/8 oz (10.5 g), the lure's profile is well-suited for targeting pike and perch with casting gear. The finish includes a dark charcoal-grey back and silver sides accented by blood-red gill markings and gold-rimmed eyes. This specimen is unused, retaining a clean finish and sharp original treble hooks. Inside the plastic body, an internal rattle adds an auditory component to its presence on the water. This USA-designed floater comes equipped with a split ring attached to the recessed line tie within the red cup.
