Vintage Fred Arbogast Jitterbug, 1/8oz fishing lure #23993

Weighing in at a light 1/8 oz (4 g), this compact Fred Arbogast Jitterbug is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the specimen features a cream-colored body adorned with distinct black spots across the sides. You can clearly see the JITTERBUG name stamped in white lettering across the dark upper portion of the body. The signature oversized aluminum cupped lip is securely fastened to the front, specifically designed for surface-level presentation. This particular model, identified by product code 23993, comes equipped with a single belly treble hook. The condition of this lure is a solid 4/5, showing only slight signs of character from its years in a tackle box. The painted eyes remain well-defined, featuring a black pupil centered within a yellow iris. Originating from the USA, the construction remains sturdy with hardware showing the natural maturation of the metal components.
