Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish F7, 1/8oz Silver fishing lure #17451

Shimmering in a classic Silver finish, this particular F7 model is a true staple of the Yakima Bait lineup. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 1/8oz (3.5g), this FlatFish carries the unmistakable banana-shaped body that has intrigued fish for generations. Looking closely at the nose, the "F7" stamp is clearly visible, marking its identity within the series. This specimen, identified by product code 17451, features the traditional wire hook spreader assembly which positions two treble hooks away from the body for better hookups during trolling sessions. The metallic surface shows some gentle signs of its history, earning it a solid 4/5 condition rating. Often used for targeting trout, bass, and walleye, this floating lure is designed for those slow-paced days on lakes or rivers. The hardware, including the wire rigging and the hooks, remains sturdy and functional.
