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 Peach Tea colored Joe Yee Ap...ollo Bullet.
Most people don't know that back in the day all the Apollo's Joe made came out of the mold as bullets, Joe cut the face on them after they were made. They made excellent large bullets, but the demand for cut face Apollos meant that the Apollo bullets just got more and more rare.
This is one he didn't cut, it has made this Apollo and Absolute Gem.
First, it has an Immaculate Finish, its obviously a hand pour and a hand polish, but this one came out next to prefect.
It is Classic Joe Yee and the Color is an anomaly. This color is non-typical it almost make it one of a kind.
It has the unmistakable Apollo profile, straight out of the mold, and you can see that this translucent head is obviously a Keeper.
I dressed it for Big Marlin, but the combination I'm using here is also a Good Gorilla Ahi combo, especially for the summer ahead.
The combination is Black/Translucent Purple with red Glitter Side Stripes Over Hot Pink/Hot Pink.
It sets this head off like a big fat Squid, and Big Yellow Fin and Marlin Love it.
I would have to date this head in the early 80's.
It has never been fished, and has a well respected history
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.
