Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Hula Popper, 1/4oz Yellow fishing lure #7810

Tipping the scales at a light 1/4 oz (8 g), this vintage specimen showcases the classic craftsmanship that Fred Arbogast brought to the surface-lure market decades ago. The vibrant yellow body is detailed with soft silver-grey diagonal stripes along the flanks, leading toward a deep-set red concave mouth designed for surface displacement. Staying true to its lineage, the rear is fitted with a multi-strand rubber hula skirt in alternating red and yellow, a feature intended to provide movement even when the lure rests at 0 ft (0 m). This specific 7810 model retains its original luster, earning it a 5/5 rating for its remarkably preserved paint and hardware. The black eyes, encircled by a thin red border, stand out clearly against the yellow finish. Underneath, a single silver treble hook is attached with the traditional Arbogast hardware, ready for display or a careful cast.
