Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F4, 3/64oz fishing lure #14395

A vibrant red finish with bold black spots covers the arched back of this 3/64 oz (1.5 g) Yakima Bait FlatFish F4. Measuring a compact 1 1/2" (4 cm), the lure transitions from its high-visibility red top to a bright orange-yellow belly, a color scheme often preferred for stained water or low-light conditions. The hardware on this specimen, identified by Product Code 14395, consists of a single belly-mounted treble hook and a factory-attached nose swivel designed to reduce line twist during slow trolling. This F4 size is a technical favorite among light-tackle enthusiasts when targeting trout or panfish in ponds and small streams. The condition is rated 5/5, showing a remarkably clean and well-preserved paint job that retains its original luster across the entire curved body.
