Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast A.C. Plug Vintage Popper, 1oz Brown fishing lure #7508

Measuring 4 3/4" (12cm) from the cup-faced nose to the end of its flexible tail, this specimen showcases a unique blend of wood and silicone construction. The 1oz (28g) weight provides a solid feel, characteristic of the Fred Arbogast A.C. Plug series. A detailed brown scale pattern covers the upper half of the jointed body, while yellow eyes with black pupils provide a distinct visual point on the head. Product Code 7508 is assigned to this particular model, which carries the manufacturer's signature in gold on the cream-colored underside. Two sharp treble hooks are mounted with sturdy split rings to the belly of both wooden segments. The silicone tail piece is securely seated in the rear section, adding a translucent element to the profile. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure remains in top shape with a bright, clean finish.
