Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS Speed Lures, 1/4oz fishing lure #7987

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this topwater specimen showcases a classic bone-white finish across its textured, scale-patterned body. Bass Pro Shops designed the XTS Speed Lures popper with a deep red cupped mouth to create surface disturbance during casting retrieves. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the lure features realistic 3D eyes surrounded by subtle grey shading on the head, accented by a distinct red crescent gill mark. This 7987 model is built as a noisy, surface-floating lure, making it a reliable choice for targeting pike and perch in shallow cover. The hardware consists of two treble hooks with a gold-toned finish, and the item maintains a condition rating of 5/5.
