Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait FlatFish X5, 1/4oz Red / Black fishing lure #9339

Tipping the scales at exactly 1/4 oz (7g), this Yakima Bait FlatFish X5 showcases the iconic banana-shaped profile that has intrigued anglers for decades. The vibrant Red / Black finish remains in 5/5 condition, presenting a clean surface with bold black spots contrasted against the bright orange-red base. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this specimen is designated by product code 9339. The lure is equipped with its signature spread-hook hardware, featuring fine trebles attached to specialized wire hangers designed to secure light-striking fish. On the broad diving lip, the FlatFish name is clearly stamped, indicating its authentic heritage. When deployed for trolling or casting in lakes and rivers, this model is rated for reaching depths up to 13ft (4 m). The metal eyelet and screw-eye components show no signs of heavy use, maintaining their original structural integrity.
