Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Zara Puppy, 1/4oz Frog fishing lure #7908

Measuring exactly 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this vintage topwater lure represents a staple in American tackle history. The Frog color pattern on this specimen is particularly clean, showcasing a dark green back with olive-toned spots that shift into a vibrant yellow underside. A small splash of red paint sits right at the nose, providing a classic visual trigger near the line tie. This Heddon Zara Puppy, identified by product code 7908, is equipped with two standard treble hooks and maintains its original painted white eyes with large black pupils. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), it is designed for a surface presentation and is ideal for the 'walk the dog' style of retrieval. The finish remains in 5/5 condition, preserved well enough to show the distinct separation between the top and bottom color coats. Each hook is securely attached via screw-eye hardware, a hallmark of Heddon's manufacturing standards.
