I'd say it was either made by arbogaster or heddon.

Could be a paw-paw too. Go to e-bay and the vintage lure listings. They have everything their.

DH - FWIW, I have looked at about 30 sites & can't find it either. If you do a search on "antique lures", you'll find some of them offer assistance identifying old lures. Also there are a few antique lure associations & clubs out there. Drop them an e-mail & your photo.

I hope you realize that you are now committed to this task and must let us know what you find out.

I agree with Capt John in that it looks like something that Heddon would have made.

Turns out the lure is called the "Woodwalker". It is made by

Ozark Mountain Lures of Carthage Missouri and first came out in

1985. Made in 4 1/2" and also 3 1/8". Charlie Campbell worked

with the Woodchopper to develop this "dog walking" top water

lure.

Found this on the web.

Ask any touring pro to name the best at making surface lures walk, and Charlie Campbell's name comes up almost every time. Campbell is a legend in freshwater circles, largely because of his abilities with surface lures.

His favorite lures include the Heddon Zara Spook and Luhr-Jensen Woodwalker. In fact, Campbell is the only angler to have his own signature series of either lure.
