Museum Archive: Vintage Swamp Fox Weedless Original Moss Boss, 1/3oz Frog (Green / Yellow) fishing spoon #2969

Green and yellow frog patterns cover the top of this 1/3 oz (8.5 g) weedless glider, showcasing the classic aesthetic from the early days of the Swamp Fox company. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the lure features a flat, spoon-like plastic body designed for sliding over heavy vegetation. Before Heddon acquired the rights, Swamp Fox developed this specific Original Moss Boss design, which utilizes a single upward-facing hook protected by the body itself. The underside of the specimen shows a solid dark green finish, contrasting with the vibrant orange and white rubber skirt that provides volume without snagging. Rated at 4/5, the plastic remains smooth and the painted frog spots are well-preserved, showing only minimal signs of its age. Identified as product code 2969, this American-made casting tool is a piece of angling history from the transition period between independent makers and larger tackle houses.
