Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F3, 1/32oz Yellow / Red fishing lure #11141

Bright yellow paint accented by bold red spots gives this specific F3 model a classic look that stands out in any vintage box. Weighing a delicate 1/32oz (0.9g) and measuring only 1 1/4" (3cm), the Yakima Bait FlatFish is a masterclass in small-scale lure construction. This specimen, carrying product code 11141, features the iconic curved 'banana' profile designed for slow-trolling or finesse casting for trout and panfish. The original 'FLATFISH' lettering is sharp and legible near the nose, where the factory swivel and split ring remain intact. For those keeping an eye on quality, this piece sits at a 5/5 condition, showing a beautifully preserved finish and clean hardware. It represents a specific era of lure manufacturing where even the smallest sizes received meticulous attention to detail.
