Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops XTS Speed Lures, 1/4oz Silver fishing lure #8885

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this Bass Pro Shops XTS Speed Lure (Product Code 8885) shows the seasoned character of a surface popper that has seen plenty of time on the water. The silver finish has weathered over time, revealing the textured scaling underneath across its 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) body. The deep red concave mouth remains a standout feature, designed for casting to draw pike and perch to the surface. Its hardware includes two sharp treble hooks attached via split rings, ready for topwater action. The red and black eye provides a focused point of contrast against the worn silver sides. This specific specimen earns a condition rating of 4/5, displaying honest wear from previous fishing trips without compromising its structural integrity. The floating, noisy design is classic for ultralight surface presentations where a smaller profile is needed.
