Bright yellow paint defines the body of this 1/4 oz (7 g) topwater lure, accented by distinct silver-grey stripes across the back. Large orange rings surrounding black pupils create high-contrast eyes that give the bait a classic look. Identified by Product Code 8477, this 2-inch (5 cm) specimen is equipped with the legendary heart-shaped metal lip that has characterized the Fred Arbogast Jitterbug since its 1938 debut. This lip is designed to produce a deep, rhythmic gurgling sound during a steady retrieve, pulling fish up from the depths. The lure is in excellent 5/5 condition, showing a beautifully preserved finish and clean original hardware, including two belly-mounted treble hooks. Proudly made in the USA, this yellow-patterned crawler remains one of the most recognizable designs in angling history, providing a reliable surface presentation for any vintage tackle collection.
