Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Frantic Antic, 3/16oz Black / Silver fishing lure #2750

Measuring exactly 2 inches (5 cm) in length, the metal faceplate on this Atlantic Lures specimen is prominently stamped with the model name and its Providence, R.I. origin. The 3/16 oz (6 g) lure features a black body adorned with a chartreuse honeycomb scale pattern on the sides and bold red-centered eyes. Identified by product code 2750, the Frantic Antic is a surface plug designed with a large silver blade that generates audible plopping sounds as it moves through the topwater. The hardware setup consists of two original treble hooks, with one situated on the belly and another trailing from the rear screw-eye. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the lure displays light wear on the silver metal components while the painted finish remains vibrant across the entire profile.
