Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Fatfish, 1oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #7649

Fire Tiger patterning dominates this Yakima Bait Fatfish, featuring a high-contrast blend of chartreuse, green, and orange across its 2 3/4" (7 cm) body. Weighing in at 1 oz (25 g), this deep-diving floating model is built for depth, capable of reaching 16.4 ft (5 m) when cast. An internal rattle chamber provides an acoustic profile intended to signal fish in deeper water columns. A prominent yellow eye with a black pupil serves as a distinct focal point on the head, while the black tiger stripes are crisply defined against the gradient. Manufactured in the USA, the specimen displays an excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining a vibrant finish and clear branding on the flank. The oversized diving lip is securely integrated into the nose, specifically shaped to drive the lure down to its target depth. Two sharp treble hooks are attached via split rings, hardware consistent with its original factory specifications under product code 7649.
