Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F4, 3/64oz Frog fishing lure #9188

Tipping the scales at a mere 3/64 oz (1.4 g), the FlatFish F4 is a masterclass in small-profile lure design. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, it carries the distinctive Frog color pattern, characterized by a yellow-green gradient and large, dark spots along its back and sides. The Yakima Bait identifier, product code 9188, marks this specific model which features the classic 'FLATFISH' script stamped clearly near the tail. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a glossy finish and clean hardware. A single, sharp treble hook hangs from a belly split ring, a configuration designed for precision when trolling at slow speeds for species like trout or panfish. The floating body's curvature is a hallmark of this series, engineered to remain stable without spinning during a slow retrieve. The wire eyelet at the front is securely fastened, ready to be paired with light tackle.
