Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast #3 Hawaiian, 3/5oz Red / White / Silver fishing spoon #14946

Red flame-like waves contrast sharply against the cream-white base of this vintage casting spoon, identifying it as a classic Fred Arbogast #3 Hawaiian. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (16g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), the metal body features a silver-finished underside. The head is painted a deep red with a small, focused eye detail, while the rear is dressed with a full, white rubber skirt. Engineered for heavy cover, the specimen is equipped with a sturdy single hook protected by a traditional wire weed guard to navigate vegetation. This particular item, cataloged under product code 14946, maintains a condition rating of 5/5. The American craftsmanship is evident in the thick paint application and the robust hardware.
