Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Chug'n Spook, 1/2oz fishing lure #6525

Weighted at 1/2 oz (14 g), this topwater specimen features a deeply cupped red mouth designed for pushing water during the retrieve. Identified by product code 6525, the Heddon Chug'n Spook Jr. displays crisp black lettering across its side, highlighting its heritage in the Spook family. The exterior finish consists of a bass-style pattern, utilizing dark lateral splotches over a shimmering olive-gold back that pales toward the belly. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with oversized, realistic eyes and two original treble hooks. This particular item is in a condition rated 5/5, showing a very clean surface and intact paint. Being a surface lure, it maintains a depth of 0 ft (0 m). A splash of red paint inside the mouth provides a distinct visual trigger against the natural body colors.
