Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tiny Chugger, 1/4oz yellow fishing lure #19098

Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this vintage plastic popper showcases the classic craftsmanship synonymous with early American tackle production. Weighing a nimble 1/4oz (7g), the Heddon Tiny Chugger, identified by product code 19098, is a surface-floating tool designed specifically for casting techniques. The bright yellow finish is detailed with silver vertical ribs and small red dots, complemented by a striking red concave face that manages surface displacement. Visual inspection reveals a 3/5 condition, with some paint wear and light scratches visible near the nose and tail sections, while the original hardware remains intact. The stamp on the belly is still legible against the yellow paint, marking its authenticity for those seeking out Heddon rarities.
