Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Flatfish U20, 1/3oz fishing lure #12108

Measuring a substantial 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this specimen represents the classic banana-shaped profile that has made the Flatfish a staple in tackle boxes for generations. This specific Flatfish U20, cataloged under product code 12108, carries a striking tri-tone finish featuring a vibrant green back with scale details, transitioning into reflective gold sides and a high-visibility red head. At 1/3 oz (9 g), it offers the ideal weight for controlled trolling depths. The hardware on this Yakima Bait creation remains in superb form, with two sharp treble hooks mounted to robust screw-eye hangers. Given its 5/5 condition, the finish remains remarkably crisp across the entire curved body. Designed primarily for slow-speed trolling, this lure is a proven choice for enticing pike, walleye, and large trout. The metal line-tie is positioned precisely on the red nose section to maintain the specific balance required for its wide-sweeping movement through the water.
