Vintage Fred Arbogast Mud Bug, 1/2oz bone fishing lure #21255

Stamped clearly with the manufacturer’s mark on its belly, this 1/2 oz (14 g) Mud Bug showcases the vintage bone finish that remains a favorite for diverse water conditions. Arbogast designed this 2 3/4" (7 cm) model, identified by product code 21255, to mimic the profile of a crayfish, which is a primary forage for large predators. The large, deflecting metal blade at the head serves as a durable shield, allowing the lure to navigate through complex underwater environments and more extreme conditions. This specific noisy wobbler is designed to sink slowly, providing the angler versatility in managing depth during the retrieve. The condition of this specimen is rated at 5/5, with the body paint and markings appearing well-preserved and the dual treble hooks remaining sharp. Red accents on the nose provide a subtle contrast to the cream-colored body, while the small black eyes are precisely placed. The distinctive notched metal lip is securely attached and remains highly reflective.
