Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F7, 1/8oz Frog spinning lure #11178

A hand-applied Frog pattern with dark splotches over a vibrant yellow-green crackle finish defines the visual character of this vintage specimen. This F7 model, part of the Yakima Bait lineage, measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighs a light 1/8 oz (3.5 g). The craftsmanship is evident in the specific placement of the belly hardware and the distinctively curved, high-buoyancy body. Designed for precision at slow speeds, it is a classic choice for trolling or casting for trout, pike, and bass in rivers or lakes. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, showing the depth of the crackle effect across the dorsal side. Bearing product code 11178, the lure remains in excellent shape with a rating of 5/5. The hardware and wire components are clean and tight, reflecting the quality of its USA-made origin.
