Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Zara Puppy, 1/4oz fishing lure #15431

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this smaller sibling of the Zara Spook family offers a refined profile for light tackle topwater enthusiasts. The body measures 3 1/4" (8cm) in length and features the classic Blue Shore Minnow finish, which blends a vibrant metallic blue back with soft pinkish-pearl sides and the signature "skeleton" ribbing. This specimen is marked with a clear "zara puppy" script on its side and bears the product code 15431. The head is detailed with bold yellow painted eyes and black gill stamps, maintaining a sharp and clean aesthetic. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure retains its original luster across its tapered shape, from the nose-mounted line tie to the two sets of bright treble hooks. Designed for the technical "walk-the-dog" retrieve, this lure provides a downsized target for bass and other surface-feeding predators.
