Museum Archive: Heddon Zara Puppy, 1/4oz fishing lure #15819

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this downsized topwater classic represents a versatile chapter in the legendary Zara lineage. The clean, solid bone finish is accented by high-contrast orange eyes with black pupils, a detail that stands out clearly on this unused specimen. This Zara Puppy, identified by product code 15819, measures 3 1/4" (8cm) and remains in factory-new condition. On the belly, the black "HEDDON ZARA 'PUPPY'" stencil is sharp and perfectly legible against the off-white body. The hardware consists of two bright silver-finished treble hooks, with the forward hook positioned mid-belly for balanced presentation. Designed for light-tackle anglers, the line tie is located directly at the tip of the tapered nose, optimized for executing the zigzag surface cadence known as "walking the dog."
