Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Flatfish T-50 , 3/4oz gold fishing lure #19638

A rich gold metallic finish covers the body of this Worden’s Flatfish T-50, providing high visibility in the deeper water columns it is designed to reach. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), this 4 3/4" (12 cm) lure is a substantial choice for both casting and trolling setups. Designed for a silent approach, it triggers aggressive strikes from salmon, steelhead, and pike without the use of internal rattles. When trolled, it reaches depths of up to 11.5 ft (3.5 m), putting it directly in the path of suspended predators. The hardware on this specimen, carrying the product code 19638, includes two robust treble hooks secured by traditional metal hangers. In its current 4/5 condition, the gold finish shows honest signs of character and surface wear from its time in a collection, yet it remains a solid, functional example of Yakima Bait's American-made craftsmanship. The distinct banana-shaped profile is an iconic silhouette that has been a staple for anglers for decades.
