Weighing exactly 1/4oz (7g), this mid-century surface popper is a well-preserved piece of Fred Arbogast history from the 1960s. The Leopard Frog finish remains remarkably vibrant, showcasing a deep green back with dark circular spotting that transitions into a clean cream belly. This specific specimen carries the product code 19804 and arrives in its original yellow spinning lure box. At a compact length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the lure features the iconic red cupped mouth designed to push water across the surface. The rubber hula skirt is intact, retaining its original cream-colored strands that provide movement behind the hard body. Finding a specimen in unused condition (rating 6) with its original packaging is a treat for those specializing in Akron, Ohio-made tackle. The side is stamped with "HULA POPPER" in clear block lettering, positioned just above the silver-toned treble hook hardware.
