Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS Rattle Shad, 1/3oz Purple Shad fishing lure #13171

Dressed in the Purple Shad pattern, this Bass Pro Shops XTS Rattle Shad features a subtle pinkish-purple hue along the shoulder that transitions into a reflective scale-textured silver flank. At a weight of 1/3oz (10g), this sinking lipless crankbait is designed for reaching variable depths depending on your retrieval speed, making it a versatile tool for both casting and trolling techniques. The compact body measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and is detailed with a distinct black dorsal fin and large, lifelike eyes that enhance its profile in the water. Identified by product code 13171, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish across its molded gill plates and textured sides. Bass Pro Shops developed the XTS series to target a wide range of species from pike and perch to trout and walleye, utilizing a top-mounted line tie to manage its descent. Two sharp, silver-finish treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings, ready for the water or a dedicated collector's display of American tackle.
