Museum Archive: Bass Pro Shops XTS, 3/8oz fishing lure #10827

Golden tones blend into a spotted silver belly on this 3/8 oz (10.5g) Bass Pro Shops XTS, a classic popper designed for surface casting. Registered under product code 10827, this lure measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and remains in unused condition (6), exhibiting a clean, factory-fresh finish. The front is dominated by a deep, red-painted concave mouth, a technical feature designed to displace water at the surface. Its construction includes an internal rattle system to provide an audible element while fishing for pike or perch. Two sharp treble hooks are attached via stainless steel split rings to the scaled-texture body. The combination of the dark dorsal spots and the reflective lower half provides a high-contrast profile that stands out against the sky when viewed from below.
