Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin Weedless Superior Frog, 1/2oz Yellow fishing lure #17779

Heavy-bodied for reaching distant cover, this 1/2oz (14 g) specimen is built for precision casting into the thickest lily pads. The yellow coloration is accented with dark dorsal spotting and a light, textured underbelly that transitions toward the head. Listed under Product Code 17779, this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Panther Martin Weedless Superior Frog features an internal floating ball specifically weighted to keep the lure oriented belly-down upon landing. A single sharp hook is integrated with a wire weed guard, allowing the angler to pull through heavy vegetation. Realistic 3-D eyes are set into the head, and the long, articulated legs provide the silhouette expected of a classic USA-made frog. The condition is rated at 5/5, presenting a clean and well-preserved exterior.
