Museum Archive: Bass Pro Shops XTS , 3/8oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #10498

Weighing in at 3/8 oz (10.5 g), this surface popper showcases a classic Fire Tiger pattern with a vibrant orange belly that transitions into scaled green sides marked by bold vertical black stripes. This Bass Pro Shops XTS specimen, identified by product code 10498, measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and remains in unused condition. The deep cupped face is designed for surface casting, allowing it to sit high on the water as a floating lure intended for pike and perch. Looking at the hardware, the lure features two silver-toned treble hooks and a sturdy line tie point integrated into the mouth. The finish includes fine scale texturing along the sides and molded-in gill plates, while the dark back provides a sharp silhouette for fish looking up from below. Being a Made in USA model, the construction is solid and retains its original factory luster throughout.
