Museum Archive: Northland Mimic Minnow soft bait, 1/8oz fishing #14408

Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this light tackle staple features the original "Holographic Baitfish-Image" that Northland Fishing Tackle made famous out of Bemidji, Minnesota. This specific set, identified by product code 14408, remains in unused condition (rating: 6), though the vintage card exhibits the wear characteristic of long-term storage in a collector's stash. Each 2 1/4" (6 cm) soft bait is built around a sculptured "stand-up" head and a premium Mustad Ultra-Point hook, a pairing designed for precision presentation. The translucent olive and silver bodies are embedded with reflective flash-foil and finished with realistic 3D molded eyeballs and a subtle pink gill accent. Developed for species like Bass, Crappie, and Trout, the construction utilizes a soft and chewy texture intended to mimic the feel of natural forage. This Made in the USA specimen carries the MM3 designation on its original yellow packaging, highlighting a significant era in holographic lure technology.
