Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Poe's Super Cedar, 2/5oz fishing lure #12770

A weight of 2/5 oz (11.5 g) gives this cedar-bodied crankbait the necessary density for effective casting. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Yakima Bait Poe's Super Cedar, product code 12770, features a teardrop profile carved from buoyant cedar wood. This material selection by the manufacturer provides a specific flotation profile that differs from modern plastic alternatives. The finish remains in 5/5 condition, displaying a detailed dark scale pattern across the dorsal area that blends into a cream-colored belly with a soft pink accent near the throat. Large yellow eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point on the head. A clear, wide diving lip is firmly seated in the nose, stamped with the Poe's brand name, and carries the front line tie. Two treble hooks are secured to the belly and tail by robust hardware, completing this well-preserved specimen from the USA.
