Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden's Bass Bug, 3/64oz fishing lure #20600

Weighing in at a delicate 3/64 oz (1.3 g), this Yakima Bait specimen showcases the classic design of the Worden's Bass Bug. The 2" (5 cm) body is meticulously segmented and finished in a deep dark brown and black pattern that mimics natural insect prey. A distinctive stamped metal lip and frame, identified by product code 20600, serves as the foundation for the rear-set treble hook. This specific rarity type lure reflects the early design philosophies of the Worden's brand, particularly in the way the wire harness is integrated along the belly of the carved torso. The lure is preserved in 4/5 condition, with the dark finish on the bug-like segments remaining clear and the metal hardware showing cleanly against the dark body.
