Vintage Fred Arbogast Jitterbug Early Bug Eye​ (1960s), 1/2oz Green tiger fishing lure #23902

Green tiger vertical stripes over a yellow belly give this 1960s specimen a classic aesthetic highly sought after by Arbogast enthusiasts. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this specific lure features the iconic "Bug Eye" design where the large, painted eyes sit prominently on the sides of the head. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), it utilizes a signature double-lobed aluminum lip designed to create a distinct "flop-flop" surface sound as it moves across the water. This American-made surface crawler reflects the design heritage introduced by Fred Arbogast in 1938, specifically representing the production style of the 1960s era. The hardware consists of two sets of treble hooks securely mounted to the body. With a condition rating of 4/5, the finish remains vibrant and well-preserved for its age. This particular item is identified by product code 23902.
