Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden Flatfish U20, 1/4oz fishing lure #15360

A vibrant yellow palette decorated with orange-red blotches and dark spots characterizes the exterior of this Yakima Bait Worden Flatfish U20. At 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the lure exhibits the classic deep-bellied curve that collectors associate with the 15360 product code. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (8 g), it is outfitted with two sharp treble hooks, one positioned at the midpoint and another at the tail, both attached with robust metal hardware. The specimen is in 3/5 condition, displaying soft wear and paint loss across the nose and sides that reflects its history in the water. The line tie is positioned at the front of the lure, offset to ensure stability during the slow-trolling or casting speeds for which this model was engineered. Each hook is connected via a split ring to a fixed screw-eye, maintaining the traditional assembly used by Yakima Bait for generations.
