Glossy black paint covers the 2" (5 cm) body of this classic surface crawler, a color choice long favored by night-fishing enthusiasts for its high-contrast silhouette against the moonlit sky. The distinctive oversized double-cupped aluminum lip, stamped with the Fred Arbogast name and Akron, Ohio origin, is the heart of the design that first debuted in 1938. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this specimen (Product Code 19476) features the signature yellow-and-black eye paint scheme that stands out against the dark finish. The hardware remains in excellent shape, showing a well-preserved surface with a condition rating of 5/5. On the underside, the secure screw-eye construction holds two bright treble hooks, engineered for work exclusively at 0 ft (0 m) depth. The metal lip clearly displays the original patent numbers, a hallmark of Fred Arbogast's engineering legacy.
