Museum Archive: Bass Pro Shops XTS, 3/8oz Bass fishing lure #11557

Weighing in at 3/8 oz (10.5 g), this surface popper features a deep red cupped mouth designed for topwater casting. The Bass Pro Shops XTS, identified by product code 11557, measures 3 1/4 inches (8 cm) in length. This unused specimen is in excellent condition, showcasing the crisp details of the Bass color pattern, which blends dark olive green scales along the spine into a warm yellow and orange flank. As a floating lure, it remains on the surface at a depth of 0 ft (0 m) throughout the retrieve. The hardware includes two sharp, silver-finished treble hooks and a sturdy split ring at the nose for secure line attachment. Originating from the USA, the construction of this topwater plug is specifically geared toward targeting pike and perch.
