Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Seein's Believin' green leopard (1970s), 1/4oz green leopard fishing lure #18969

Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm) in length, the compact profile of this Fred Arbogast lure highlights the classic 'Seein's Believin' series aesthetic from the 1970s. This particular specimen, identified by product code 18969, carries the famous green leopard finish which contrasts a lime-green back with a cream-colored underside. At a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the plastic body is equipped with the signature Jitterbug aluminum lip, designed to create a rhythmic surface disturbance during a steady retrieve. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks attached via belly and tail screw-eyes, all of which remain in 5/5 condition. American-made and beautifully preserved, the paintwork retains its original luster without the scuffs often seen on vintage surface walkers. The oversized eye graphics and distinct leopard spotting remain sharp and well-defined across the entire frame.
