Vintage Fred Arbogast Jitterbug Jointed, 1/3oz fishing lure #23752

Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this jointed topwater classic showcases a vibrant yellow base accented with bold red tiger-style patterning across its surface. This 1/3oz (10g) floating bait is a classic Fred Arbogast design, specifically the Jointed Jitterbug model, manufactured in the USA. The defining feature of this specimen is the large, cupped metal blade mounted at the head, designed to displace water and generate a rhythmic "flop-flop" sound that echoes across the surface during a steady retrieve. The two-piece body adds a distinct physical break to the lure's silhouette, separating it from the original solid-body version. Two treble hooks are secured to the underside, and the paint shows only minor signs of use, earning it a solid 4/5 condition rating. Cataloged under product code 23752, this particular lure features black eyes and a clean silver finish on the front blade.
