Museum Archive: Fred Arbogast Hula Popper, 1/2oz Red / White fishing lure #12926

A vibrant red head contrasts against the clean white body of this classic surface plug. Featuring the signature oversized cupped mouth, this design is synonymous with the Fred Arbogast name, a brand that revolutionized topwater fishing starting in 1941. This particular specimen is unused and remains in exceptional state, showcasing the original rubber 'Hula' skirt in alternating red and white strands that provide movement on the pause. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks attached via traditional metal surface plates. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the lure carries the catalog Product Code 12926. The large, dark eyes are painted with a distinct yellow ring, adding a focal point for surface-striking predators.
