Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F3, 1/32oz Frog fishing lure #12109

Stamped clearly on the underside of this 1/32oz (0.9g) vintage plug is the iconic Flatfish name, identifying it as a classic Yakima Bait design. Measuring 1 1/4" (3cm) in length, this F3 model features a Frog pattern consisting of vibrant yellow stripes over a green base, accented by a bold red and black eye. This lure, cataloged under product code 12109, is intended for slow-presentation techniques such as trolling for trout or panfish in smaller bodies of water. The hardware remains original, featuring a single belly-mounted treble hook. Based on its appearance, this specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating with the finish and metal components showing almost no signs of use. Its curved profile and lightweight construction reflect the craftsmanship of US-made tackle from the Yakima era.
