Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden's Lures Flatfish, 1/4oz Orange fishing lure #1327

Bright orange paint with a distinct pattern of black and red spots defines this Worden's Lures Flatfish, a piece of angling history produced by Yakima Bait. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen is marked with "X4" on its dorsal side, identifying its specific profile within the legendary Flatfish lineup. This model, product code 1327, features the traditional hardware configuration intended for slow trolling or casting for species like trout and bass. The belly reveals a classic spreader bar assembly mounting two treble hooks, complemented by a third treble at the tail, all showing a darkened finish from years of storage. You will notice some light surface marks and minor hook rubs on the orange finish, which contribute to the authentic character of a lure that has seen honest use. The paint remains largely vibrant and the overall construction is solid, reflecting a well-maintained tool for the water. This specimen holds a condition rating of 4/5.
