Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS, 3/8oz Yellow / Green fishing lure #9038

Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this surface popper showcases a high-contrast Yellow / Green paint scheme. The deep, concave red mouth is the defining structural feature of this Bass Pro Shops XTS, a tool engineered for topwater casting when targeting pike and perch. This specific 3/8oz (10.5g) specimen carries the product code 9038 and exhibits a clean finish consistent with a 5/5 condition rating. The dark dorsal area is decorated with large, olive-green oval spots that transition smoothly into the bright yellow flanks. Oversized yellow eyes with black pupils are positioned just behind the red gill slashes, providing a focal point for predators. Its hardware consists of two sharp, silver-finished treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings. Built in the USA, the lure's internal noise-making rattle adds an auditory dimension to its floating profile.
