Museum Archive: Vintage Millsite Tackle Millsite Bassor, 2/5oz Red / White fishing lure #6709

Sporting a classic Red / White finish, this 2/5 oz (12 g) surface popper from Howell, Michigan, showcases the distinct craftsmanship associated with Millsite Tackle. The deep cupped mouth of this 2 3/4" (7 cm) specimen is designed for topwater casting, making it a reliable choice when targeting pike or perch. Looking at the head, the red section features painted black eyes with a sharp yellow iris, surrounded by a subtle dark shaded mask. Two treble hooks are attached—one at the belly and one at the tail—complementing the vintage aesthetic of the plastic body. This Millsite Bassor, identified by product code 6709, is in excellent condition and receives a 5/5 rating. The cream-colored tail section tapers smoothly, balanced to sit correctly on the surface during a retrieve.
