Museum Archive: Vintage Producers Prism Shad Type S, 1/2oz Baby Bass fishing lure #9638

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking lipless crankbait offers the versatility needed for targeting a wide range of species from perch to pike. The Baby Bass pattern features a rich green gradient on the spine transitioning into yellowish sides, punctuated by a series of dark, jagged vertical bars that mimic a juvenile prey fish. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the Producers Prism Shad Type S (Product Code 9638) is designed as a rattling lure for both casting and trolling applications. Its sinking nature allows for a variable working depth, letting the angler count it down to the specific strike zone. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks secured by split rings, with the line-tie positioned on the top of the head characteristic of the rattlin style. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen shows a finish in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of the paint and the distinct yellow eye with its dark pupil.
