Museum Archive: Fred Arbogast Jitterbug , 1/3oz Red / White fishing lure #12931

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the classic red and white paint job on this Fred Arbogast Jitterbug is as vibrant as the day it was made. This USA-manufactured lure, carrying product code 12931, measures exactly 2 1/4" (6 cm) and comes in an unused state, free from any signs of age. Across the white back, the "JITTERBUG" name is stamped in bold red capital letters, providing a sharp contrast. The heart-shaped metal lip is the centerpiece of its construction, designed to displace water at the 0 ft (0 m) surface level. Two treble hooks are secured with vintage-style hardware, and the red head is accented by painted yellow eyes with black pupils.
