Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this Fred Arbogast classic features the iconic Tiger pattern—a bold yellow base accented with dark, organic spotting. The 2 1/4" (6cm) body is equipped with the hallmark deep-cupped face, finished in a bright red that contrasts sharply against the yellow and black of the main frame. Stamped clearly on the upper back is the HULA POPPER name, representing a design that has been a surface-fishing staple since its introduction in 1941. This specific specimen, Product Code 5841, showcases the signature rubber skirt in black, which provides subtle movement even while the lure is stationary on the surface. Two belly-mounted treble hooks are secured by traditional metal hardware, and the lure remains in great shape with a 4/5 condition rating. Intended for bass and pike, this floating model is built for fishing near lily pads and heavy vegetation where the cupped mouth can effectively move water.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
