Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish X5, 1/4oz fishing lure #8761

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this classic banana-shaped lure is a staple for anglers targeting trout, walleye, and pike in varied water conditions. The specific color pattern on this FlatFish X5 features a soft yellow belly that blends into an orange-gold flank, crowned with a dark olive back and vibrant red circular spots. Cataloged as product code 8761, the 1/4 oz (7 g) body is designed to dive to depths reaching 13 ft (4 m) when utilized in a slow-trolling setup. The hardware setup is traditional for Yakima Bait, utilizing wire spreaders to keep the treble hooks clear of the body. This particular lure remains in top-tier condition, rated at 5/5, showing clear finishes and secure metal components.
