Museum Archive: Vintage Terminator Popping Frog, 1/2oz Brown fishing #6865

Adorned with a high-contrast black and brown mottled pattern, this topwater specimen is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the Terminator Popping Frog (product code 6865) features a deep-cupped, chartreuse-yellow face designed specifically for surface-pushing techniques in heavy cover. The body construction integrates a weedless hook system that remains flush against the soft material, allowing it to navigate lily pads and matted vegetation where traditional lures might snag. Long, trailing rubber strands in yellow and black extend from the rear to simulate the motion of frog legs. This lure is in 5/5 condition, showing clean surfaces and vibrant colors across the body and skirts. Manufactured in the USA, the Terminator brand established its reputation by focusing on durable soft-body designs that withstand repeated strikes from aggressive bass. A sturdy, silver-toned line tie is centered within the mouth for direct connection to heavy braided lines.
