Vintage Fred Arbogast Mud Bug, 1/3oz fishing lure #21877

A distinct yellow finish with dark, bold spots defines the classic aesthetics of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) deep-diving crankbait. Crafted by the legendary Fred Arbogast team in the USA, this Mud Bug weighs in at 1/3 oz (10 g), making it a substantial choice for reaching those deeper structures where bass often hide. The oversized metal lip, associated with product code 21877, is securely attached and designed for a steep descent into the water column. Rated 5/5, the specimen maintains a vibrant paint job with subtle red accents at the nose and clean, original treble hooks. The hardware remains remarkably bright, showing how well this rarity has been preserved. The black spotting across the spine transitions into a solid yellow belly, a color scheme specifically chosen to simulate prey in various water conditions.
