Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Hula Popper, 1/4oz black fishing lure #21579

Deep black paint covers the body of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) vintage find, providing a high-contrast silhouette for topwater presentation. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), the Fred Arbogast Hula Popper (Product Code 21579) is a classic choice for those targeting perch and pike in shallow, weedy areas. The characteristic concave mouth is designed for surface use, while the dual-tone orange and brown rubber skirt provides visual presence. Manufactured in the USA, the hardware includes a belly-mounted treble hook secured by a traditional screw-eye plate. The finish and skirt are nicely maintained, earning this particular specimen a 4/5 condition rating. Its compact size makes it a specialized option for light tackle setups when a smaller profile is required.
