Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Fred Arbogast 3 Hawaiian Glow, 3/5oz fishing spoon #3338

Weighing in at 3/5 oz (16g), this Fred Arbogast specimen features a dense, teardrop-shaped body designed for reaching depth and maintaining stability in the water column. This 2 1/4" (6cm) Weedless Fred Arbogast 3 Hawaiian Glow, identified by Product Code 3338, is a classic example of American-made tackle from the USA. The specific 'Glow' characteristic refers to the lure's eye, which is designed to remain visible to fish in low-light environments. A single upturned hook is shielded by a fine wire guard to prevent snags in heavy vegetation, a hallmark of its weedless design. The lure is currently rigged with a translucent green vinyl skirt, which provides a visual contrast against the raw metal finish of the body. Presenting in 4/5 condition, the specimen shows light signs of its vintage, though the structural components remain robust and intact. The name 'Hawaiian' is stamped directly into the metal on the underside of the weighted body.
