Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS Jointed Minnow, 1/4oz blue fishing lure #23157

Blue-to-silver gradients define the aesthetic of this Bass Pro Shops XTS Jointed Minnow, which measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length. The two-piece jointed body construction provides a fluid presence for casting or trolling applications. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure features a fine-textured scale pattern along the silver sides that transitions into a clean white belly. A clear, rounded diving lip is mounted at the nose, accompanied by dark pupils set into reflective silver eye sockets. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks attached via stainless split rings. Identified by product code 23157, this specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine finish across both body segments. This American-designed minnow utilizes a traditional slim profile intended for multi-species freshwater angling.
