The subject of thousands of articles in fishing and outdoor magazines since its introduction in 1922, when it first appeared in the James Heddon's Sons catalogue as \"The Florida Wonder,\" a design by W.T. Heddon at his lakeside winter home and granted U.S. Patent #1,424,385 on August 1, 1922. Its celebrated walk-the-dog action has been the subject of more \"how-to\" articles than any other lure ever produced, and it has appeared in every Heddon catalogue from 1922 to the present day, a continuous production run of over a century that no other American lure can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1994 Centennial Edition was produced to commemorate Heddon's 100th anniversary, an authentic wood reproduction of the original #6500 Zaragossa, complete with Certificate of Authenticity documenting the lure's origin story from patent application to catalogue history, presented in the commemorative Centennial Edition box. The BF (Bullfrog) colourway renders the classic Heddon Bullfrog pattern, dark olive-green back with subtle spotting, bright yellow-gold belly, and red-orange tail accent, one of the most enduring and recognisable colour schemes in American lure history, appearing across Heddon's catalogue from the earliest wooden production era through to the Centennial Edition and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heddon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48003976593545,"sku":"WG-HEDD-ZARA-122","price":64.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1038\/4009\/files\/Gem-512.jpg?v=1787389498","url":"https:\/\/wildersfishing.com.au\/products\/heddon-dowagiac-zaragossa-centennial-edition-bull-frog","provider":"Wilder's Fishing \u0026 Supply Co.
