Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Zara Puppy, 1/4oz Frog fishing lure #6484

Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this Heddon Zara Puppy carries the iconic Frog pattern that collectors and bass anglers have favored for generations. The finish features a dark olive green honeycomb scale effect over black splotches on the back, transitioning cleanly into a smooth cream-colored belly where the "HEDDON ZARA 'PUPPY'" identification is clearly stamped. This specimen, cataloged under product code 6484, weighs in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and represents a finesse-sized version of the world-famous surface walker. Bright yellow eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast target near the nose, while the original hardware includes two well-preserved treble hooks located at the center-belly and tail. The exterior paint is exceptionally crisp, earning this lure a 5/5 rating for its visual preservation. A small metal line tie is positioned at the very tip of the nose, specifically placed to facilitate the rhythmic side-to-side surface cadence this model is known for.
