Vintage Fred Arbogast Phred’s Shadeaux Wood , 1/2oz Tiger fishing lure #21906

Tiger patterning over a yellow body provides the visual foundation for this Fred Arbogast Phred’s Shadeaux Wood, a rare American-made find from a storied manufacturer. Identified by product code 21906, the specimen spans 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighs 1/2oz (14g). The wooden construction offers the classic buoyancy characteristic of early floating models, paired with an oversized clear plastic lip designed for deep-water trolling or casting. This particular lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint with a distinct orange accent near the chin and clean treble hooks. As a wooden variant of the Phred’s Shadeaux line, it represents a specific era of Arbogast production before the widespread shift to plastic materials. The hardware is firmly anchored, and the black vertical stripes across the flanks are crisp against the yellow base.
