Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Zara Spook, 3/5oz Frog fishing lure #6411

Dressed in a classic Frog pattern with distinctive dark spots over a greenish-yellow body, this vintage specimen showcases the craftsmanship of early American tackle. Measuring 4 1/4" (11cm) and weighing 3/5oz (17g), the Zara Spook is an iconic piece of Heddon history from the USA. This particular lure, carrying product code 6411, features the recognizable tapered nose and slender profile designed for the "walk the dog" technique, creating a zigzag motion along the surface. The gold-ringed eyes with black pupils remain well-defined against the olive-toned head. It holds a condition rating of 4/5, showing some light age-related surface marks and gentle wear on the creamy-white belly, while the belly-weight and hardware attachments are securely seated. The transition from the dark olive-spotted back to the lighter yellowish-green sides is smooth, preserving the visual character of this topwater classic.
