Museum Archive: LiveTarget Bait Ball TRB 100, 2oz Gold fishing lure #16244

At 2 oz (58 g), the significant weight of this sinking lipless lure allows for reaching variable depths when casting or trolling for aggressive predators like pike and zander. The LiveTarget Bait Ball TRB 100 employs a sophisticated visual strategy, using its 4" (10 cm) body to mimic the appearance of a small cluster of prey rather than a single fish. This specimen, identified by product code 16244, is unused and displays a gold color scheme with a dark-to-light gradient and silver accents on the lower half. Originating from Canada, the lure features a top-mounted line tie and an internal rattling chamber that produces sound during the retrieve. The finish remains bright across the bait ball silhouettes, and the hardware includes two sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings.
