Vintage Weedless Fred Arbogast 3 Hawaiian, 3/5oz fishing spoon #4727

Red wavy stripes across a cream-colored body define the classic finish of this vintage specimen. Weighing in at 3/5oz (16g), this No. 3 Hawaiian spoon was designed by the Fred Arbogast team in Akron, Ohio, specifically for navigating heavy cover. The underside of the 2 1/4" (6cm) brass body carries a clear stamp marking its origin and model number. A single, sturdy hook is protected by a fixed wire weed guard, which is essential for its weedless design. The red rubber collar remains intact, securing a white vinyl skirt that adds a soft, flared profile to the tail. Identified by product code 4727, this lure shows light signs of its history, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. The painted finish on the upper side exhibits minor surface wear from time, yet the bold contrast of the red and white remains distinct. Every element, from the integrated line-tie eyelet to the bend of the weed guard, reflects the mid-century American manufacturing standards of the Fred Arbogast company.
