Museum Archive: Vintage Other Mill Run Beno, 1/4oz Frog fishing lure #7846

Featuring a classic Frog finish with dark spots over a green back, this Mill Run Beno serves as a prime example of mid-century American tackle design. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) jointed body consists of two sections, providing a distinct profile for casting in shallow to mid-depth waters. Product code 7846 is associated with this specimen, which weighs in at a versatile 1/4 oz (7 g). A red-painted diving lip provides a sharp visual contrast against the off-white belly, while oversized yellow-and-black eyes are positioned forward on the arched head section. The hardware is secured by metal plates and screw eyes, keeping the dual treble hooks firmly in place. This specific lure is exceptionally well-preserved, earning a 5/5 condition rating due to the clarity of the paintwork and the cleanliness of the metal components.
