Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Hawaiian Wiggler No. 2-1/2 Sputterfuss Frog, 3/4oz Frog spinning lure #18268

Stamped clearly with 'SPUTTERFUSS' on the forward nickel-finished blade, this 3/4 oz (21 g) lure showcases the hallmark craftsmanship of Fred Arbogast. The body features a classic Frog color scheme, utilizing an olive-yellow base with dark black spots and bright yellow-ringed eyes. A dual wire weed guard extends from the head to protect the hook, serving as a practical feature for fishing through heavy cover. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm), the lure’s underside carries the 'ARBO-GAST' and 'NO 2-1/2' stamps in deep, legible relief. This specimen, product code 18268, retains a condition rating of 5/5 with its original yellow and white rubber skirt strands appearing supple and well-preserved.
