Vintage Luhr Jensen Fire Plug, 3/16oz Frog fishing lure #17997

Dressed in a classic frog pattern, the green upper body of this specimen transitions into a bright yellow belly, punctuated by distinct dark spots along the sides. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this Luhr Jensen Fire Plug is a representative of American-made trolling lures that are no longer in production. The hardware is mounted securely, featuring a swivel-linked treble hook on the underside to help manage fish during a fight. A wire snap is pre-attached to the nose eyelet, facilitating quick line connections for various trolling setups. Its floating buoyancy is characteristic of the Fire Plug design, intended for surface or subsurface presentation depending on the speed of the troll. The condition is rated at 5/5, showing a clean finish and well-preserved hardware components. A seam line is visible along the side, highlighting the molded construction typical of these Luhr Jensen models from the USA.
