Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden Flatfish U20, 1/3oz fishing lure #21229

A translucent body featuring a distinct orange longitudinal stripe defines this Yakima Bait classic. Known formally as the Worden Flatfish U20, this 3 1/2" (9cm) specimen showcases the iconic banana-shaped curve designed for effectiveness in lake and river environments. Weighing 1/3oz (9g), the lure is engineered for trolling and slow retrieval techniques targeting trout, pike, zander, and other freshwater predators. This specific item, identified by product code 21229, presents in a well-maintained condition rated at 4/5. The floating plastic body carries three treble hooks—one at the tail and two spaced along the belly—to ensure hookups during slow-speed presentations. Its USA-made construction remains a staple for collectors and active anglers who appreciate the lineage of the Worden design.
