Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F3, 1/32oz Frog fishing spoon #12359

A distinctive banana-shaped body marks this Yakima Bait classic, finished in the iconic Frog pattern with its dark green base and bright yellow spots. Weighing in at a delicate 1/32 oz (0.9 g), this FlatFish F3 is a precision tool for light-tackle enthusiasts. In 4/5 condition, the lure shows some light paint thinning and minor chipping across the top and sides, revealing the character of a piece that has seen time on the water. Measuring approximately 1 1/4 inches (3.1 cm), this US-made specimen is designed for a slow-motion retrieve or trolling to target trout, ide, or chub in smaller lakes and streams. The hardware includes a belly-mounted treble hook attached via a small screw eye, typical for the 12359 product code series. The characteristic curved profile is engineered to stay floating until the retrieve begins, allowing for careful placement near structure.
