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 Teal BlueGreen Clea...r Joe Yee Apollo, and it is Candy to Blue Marlin
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.
There is no insert, Just Lustrous Deep Teal Blue/Green, Hand Finished and Hand Polished.
If you look close you can see where it was all hand finished. When you use a Mechanical device edges are super straight, everything is really exact. When you hand polish you can see the difference, corners are more rounded edges have that hand tuned look and feel.
This is a Hand Tuned, Hand Polished Apollo, Super Nice example of "Old School" fit and finish.
Never fished, and this lure is Pristine.
These types of Heads were Joe's experiments for Color, Texts for Clarity and Productivity, 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, but I don't have many of them left.
It is Tournament 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 Teal Blue/Gold Glitter with Black Side Stripes and Wide Black Bars down the Back and Belly Over Purple/Purple with Blue Glitter.
This Combination is Pure Kona, and it's a Donkey Slammer.
We been hooking up Blue Marlin on combinations like this run on Apollo's as long as I can remember.
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,
