A striking Fire Tiger pattern covers this 1/4oz (7g) topwater classic, featuring a black back boldly stamped with JITTERBUG in white block lettering. Measuring exactly 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen carries the Fred Arbogast product code 1570. The side profile shifts from a vibrant green with vertical black markings into a bright yellow, eventually transitioning to a warm orange underside near the front. Its hallmark is the wide, heart-shaped metal lip stamped with the manufacturer's name, designed to produce a rhythmic gurgling sound during a steady surface retrieve. This particular Jitterbug highlights the craftsmanship synonymous with Fred Arbogast's Ohio legacy, specifically the surface design that became a staple for nighttime bass fishing. The lure is rigged with two treble hooks secured by sturdy screw-eye hardware. Looking closely at the paint finish and hardware, the condition is a solid 5/5.
