Museum Archive: Heddon Baby Torpedo, 1/3oz Frog fishing lure #11548

Dipping into the classic Frog pattern, this specimen features dark green oval spots across a black-to-yellow gradient body. Labeled under product code 11548, the Heddon Baby Torpedo remains a staple for topwater enthusiasts seeking that signature surface disturbance. Measuring 2 1/4 inches (6 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 ounce (9 g), its compact profile is designed for precision casting toward shorelines or submerged timber. A single, high-polish rear propeller is mounted to the tail, intended to churn the water's surface when the lure is retrieved. This particular lure is unused and remains in its original clear blister packaging, presenting a clean specimen for a collection or a fresh start on the water. Two silver-tone treble hooks are secured by surface-mounted hangers, and the front of the lure is finished with large, painted cream eyes that provide a distinct target point. Produced by EBSCO Industries in Mexico, the packaging highlights the 'proven top-water action' that has made Heddon a household name since James Heddon first carved a piece of wood in 1894.
