Museum Archive: Vintage Other Weedless Felmlee Weedless Floating Frog, 3/16oz Frog fishing #6866

Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this soft-bodied amphibian imitation captures the classic look of mid-century topwater gear. The mottled green and black pattern over a tan base mimics a leopard frog’s natural camouflage, a finish that has survived beautifully over the decades. This American-made specimen features a robust single hook protected by a spring-steel wire weed guard, anchored at the nose eyelet and terminating just at the hook point to navigate heavy lily pads or timber. Finding a piece in such pristine condition (5/5) is a treat for the collection, as the rubber remains supple and the paint finish crisp. At a weight of 3/16 oz (6 g), it’s a lightweight floater designed for precise placement. Known by product code 6866, this Felmlee Weedless Floating Frog highlights the early ingenuity in snag-proof design.
