Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Jitterbug , 1/3oz Frog fishing lure #7285

A vibrant Frog pattern featuring a yellow base and green-topped back with black spots defines the look of this 1/3 oz (10 g) lure. Identified as product code 7285, the Fred Arbogast Jitterbug measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and features a jointed body construction for a segmented profile. The signature wide, heart-shaped metal lip is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name, a design engineered to produce a rhythmic gurgling sound during a steady retrieve. This USA-made specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paintwork and clean hardware. Two belly-mounted treble hooks provide reliable striking points beneath the articulated frame. The bold, dark eyes set against the yellow head give the lure its classic, recognizable appearance for any collection.
