Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F7, 1/8oz Silver fishing lure #14269

Sized at 2 1/4 inches (6 cm), the silver scale pattern across the dark, curved back of this vintage lure remains remarkably clean and well-defined. This Yakima Bait FlatFish F7, identified by product code 14269, weighs exactly 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and represents a classic of American tackle design. The hardware is a specific highlight, featuring the traditional metal spreader harness for the trailing treble hooks, a configuration intended for slow-paced casting or trolling for species like trout and walleye. Visually, the specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, with the silver-toned scales providing high contrast against the body's darker base. The wire line-tie and the original bronzed hooks are firmly intact, showing the quality manufacturing synonymous with its USA origin. This particular color scheme is designed to mimic the textured scales of small baitfish, a detail that remains highly effective for anglers targeting predatory fish in varied water conditions.
