Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F4, 3/64oz Black / Orange fishing lure #7895

Measuring 1 1/2 inches (4 cm), this small-profile lure features a striking black finish accented by bold orange dots. This Yakima Bait FlatFish F4, cataloged as product code 7895, serves as a classic example of a design favored by anglers for its specialized slow-presentation capabilities. At a weight of 3/64 oz (1.4 g), the F4 is specifically scaled for delicate light-line applications often required for species like rainbow trout, perch, or panfish. The specimen shows a high degree of preservation, presenting a clean aesthetic that merits a 5/5 condition rating. It is equipped with a single belly treble hook and the characteristic offset line tie that facilitates its intended use for slow casting or trolling. The vibrant contrast of the orange spots against the dark body provides high visibility in various water conditions. This particular model is frequently deployed in ponds or small rivers where a steady, slow retrieve or rowing pace is key to the presentation.
