Museum Archive: LiveTarget Bait Ball YRB 65, 1/2oz fishing lure #17687

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking lipless crankbait is a masterclass in visual deception from Canadian manufacturer LiveTarget. The Bait Ball YRB 65 utilizes a clever multi-fish paint scheme to mimic a small school of forage, a design choice that sets it apart from traditional single-profile lures. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the body houses an internal rattle system that complements the high-detail silver and blue baitfish graphics. Because it is a sinking model, you can count on a variable running depth depending on your retrieval speed or trolling pace, making it versatile for targeting species like pike, salmon, or trout. This specific specimen carries the product code 17687 and remains unused, presenting in a factory-fresh state with its original hardware and hooks intact. Whether casting into current for asp or slow-trolling for perch, the heavy-duty construction and top-mounted line tie are engineered for reliability across various techniques.
