Vintage Fromme's Weed Hopper Lure, Green, Wire Guards, #24603

Two long metal wire guards extending from the nose distinguish this specialized tool as a dedicated heavy-cover seeker. Produced by the Fromme Bait Company of Akron, Indiana, the green body is designed specifically for navigating dense vegetation where bass and pike lie in ambush. This Weed Hopper, identified by product code 24603, carries a soft yellow bifurcated tail intended to provide visual movement behind the main body. It handles various retrieve styles, from working the surface to diving down to 5 ft (1.5 m) while the metal feelers deflect lily pads and timber. Original manufacturing involved scenting the material with attractants to trigger strikes even in low-visibility conditions. Signs of use and environmental exposure are present on this specimen, placing its condition at 1/5. A stamped logo on the flat green surface clearly denotes the maker and model.
