Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Frantic Antic, 3/16oz Frog fishing lure #1575

Stamped clearly onto the oversized metal lip is the Providence, Rhode Island, origin of this Atlantic Lures classic. This Frantic Antic, identified by product code 1575, showcases a vibrant Frog finish consisting of a pale yellow belly transitioning to a green back with distinct dark circular spots. Weighing 3/16 oz (6 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is a surface-dwelling popper that relies on its wide front plate for interaction with the water. The hardware setup includes two treble hooks and a top-mounted eyelet for line attachment. Its condition is rated at 4/5, with the painted body surface remaining smooth and the metallic components showing minimal signs of age. The large metal bill is secured firmly with two flush-mounted screws, ensuring the Atlantic Lures branding remains the focal point of the construction.
