A gleaming chrome-silver finish accented with distinctive fluorescent pink dots identifies this Yakima Bait FlatFish F7, categorized under product code 8799. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.6 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this banana-shaped plug features the classic wire harness design that positions the two treble hooks beneath the body. Collectors often look for this specific offset hook arrangement, which was engineered to improve hook-up ratios during the slow trolling speeds these lures were originally intended for. The condition of this specimen is an excellent 5/5, with the reflective surface and painted accents remaining vibrant. This F7 model is designed for a variety of freshwater species and can reach a depth of 8.2 ft (2.5 m) when trolled. The eyelet is positioned high on the arch of the body, a hallmark of the FlatFish silhouette that has helped define the brand's profile for decades.
