Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS Speed Lures, 1/4oz Black / Silver fishing lure #8009

Silver ribbing contrasts sharply against the textured black finish of this 1/4 oz (7 g) topwater specimen. As a member of the Bass Pro Shops XTS Speed Lures lineup, designated by product code 8009, this popper is sized at 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) for a compact profile that appeals to both pike and perch. The floating body is designed for surface casting and includes an internal noise-making chamber to provide an auditory profile on the water. The lure is in 5/5 condition, featuring clean hardware and sharp bronze-finished treble hooks. This specific Black / Silver color pattern is a classic choice for creating a strong silhouette when fishing during low-light periods or in stained water. The concave face is built to displace water during the retrieve, while the tapering tail ensures a stable flight during long casts.
