Coated in a vibrant Fire Tiger green with distinct black markings, the 1/3 oz (10 g) body of this specimen is a foundational piece for any collector of American topwater tackle. This lure, designated by product code 6808, measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and features the signature heart-shaped metal lip synonymous with the Fred Arbogast legacy. The white 'JITTERBUG' stamp along the dark spine remains sharp and legible, positioned between large, painted yellow eyes with deep black pupils. Engineered for topwater presentation, the wide metal lip is designed to create a rhythmic gurgling sound and a trailing bubble line during a steady retrieve. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure presents an exceptionally clean finish and includes its original hardware with two sharp treble hooks. The construction represents a classic 1938 design specifically tailored for surface casting near shorelines or structures.
