A couple of years Joe and I put a book together called Joe Yee and his Lures with Eric White, and Dan Magers wrote it.
Its the Best Joe Yee Lure Book I have ever seen.
I use my book as a reference in my listings, it is not for sale, and I don't sell the books, but you can read a lot of the book for free at the BFD Big Game Lures Website.
You are bidding on a Vintage Blue Clear Triple P...oured Joe Yee Apollo with a Silver/Gold Glitter Nose
Its a Vintage bait that comes from a time when hard working baits were made by hand and got put to the test everyday in big water.
This Apollo has a Wide Stripe of Glitter in Blue for the First Pour, followed by a wide section of Infinite Blue, followed by Lustrous Deep Arctic Blue, Hand Finished and Hand Polished.
This head is 98% perfect except for a few of the Glitter in the Nose section migrated up into the Infinite Blue on the bottom, and there is some pitting on the surface where some of the Glitter chunks protruded and come out.
Never fished, and this lure is ready for the Water.
These were experiments for Color, Texts for Clarity, working up the right recipes for the perfect shade, or the perfect tint, you wont find many of these around.
I got several from old dusty boxes in Joe's shop several years ago, and washed them off....gorgeous.
It is ready to go on your Rigger or Long Corner and there will be nothing in the water like it.
I would have to date this head in the early 80's.
I have skirted it to Win, it's dressed "aku" (Skip Jack) Blue/Clear with Silver Glitters and Black Side Stripes with Wide Black Bars down the Back Over Ice Blue/Ice Blue.
This Combination is Pure Kona, we been hooking up Blue Marlin on this combo on an Apollo all the way back to the early 80's.
I'm a no nonsense fisherman and I love these old Vintage baits, there is nothing like these anymore.
You can bid with Confidence, I package well, I ship fast, and I combine shipping whenever I can.
This Awesome Joe Yee lure Ships Free Worldwide.
Thanks and Mahalos,
