Museum Archive: Heddon Zara Puppy, 1/4oz Frog fishing lure #8478

Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this Zara Puppy brings the iconic walk-the-dog lineage to a light-tackle format. The Frog color pattern on this 1/4oz (7g) specimen features a vibrant yellow belly transitioning into a dark back, finished with a classic red accent at the nose and distinctive side spotting. Identified by product code 8478, the lure's construction focuses on a cigar-shaped profile designed specifically for surface presentation and the rhythmic side-to-side gliding motion synonymous with the Zara name. The belly clearly displays the stamped "HEDDON ZARA PUPPY" identification, ensuring its place within the storied lineage of the Heddon company. This example is preserved in its original green and yellow striped blister pack and is rated a 6, meaning the lure is completely unused. Twin treble hooks are secured via hardware that remains bright, matching the condition of the plastic body and painted eyes.
