Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS, 2/5oz Pearl fishing lure #8557

Pearl finish adorns the 2 3/4" (7 cm) frame of this lipless sinking bait, which is identified by product code 8557. At a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), the Bass Pro Shops XTS displays a detailed diamond-scale pattern across its sides, punctuated by a singular black spot and golden-rimmed eyes. This noise-producing rattlin' model is equipped with two treble hooks and is versatile enough for variable depths when casting or trolling for species like zander, pike, or perch. The specimen is in well-preserved condition, showing only light handling marks and rating a solid 4/5. The top-mounted line tie is securely seated, ready for a variety of retrieval speeds.
