Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Jitter Mouse, 1/8oz Brown fishing lure #8095

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this surface lure features a finely textured brown upper body that mimics the fur of a small rodent. Rating this specimen as a 5/5, it remains in unused condition, appearing just as it did when it left the American production line. This 1/8oz (4g) model, cataloged under product code 8095, utilizes a specialized metal lip designed for surface operation, keeping the bait at 0ft (0 m) depth throughout the retrieve. The off-white belly provides a sharp contrast to the brown back, while the head is detailed with small molded ears and dark, pinpoint eyes. A long, flexible tail is attached to the rear, adding to the realism of the profile. Standard treble hooks are mounted via screw-eye hangers on the underside. Primarily intended for pike and perch, the Fred Arbogast Jitter Mouse is most effective with a steady retrieve or a rhythmic stop-and-go technique. Produced in the USA, this original specimen retains all its original hardware and paint integrity.
