Sam's Interests
Welcome to Extreme Arbogast:
WELCOME! My name is Sam Van Camp and I am a collector of old fishing tackle, especially lures from the Fred Arbogast Company of Akron, Ohio as well as Creek Chub and Heddon Lures. I live in Georgetown, Illinois, a small community about 120 miles south of Chicago. I have lived my entire life in the outdoors and bring this into the homes of area residents through a twice-weekly newspaper column on the outdoors and a weekly radio show entitled "Outdoors with Sam" I live with my wife Pam of 37 years and our two children I bass fish as often as I can.
Interests & Hobbies:
Collecting Old Fishing Lures

  About These Photos
These photos will represent some of the most rare lures made by the Fred Arbogast Company of Akron, Ohio as well as common and semi-tough lures as well. I hope to include collections from various Arbogast collectors throughout the country on this site so, if you have a rare Arbogast lure or a collection of Arbogast lures that you wish to have displayed on this page, please feel free to send me a JPEG which I can post here along with your name, city and state. Thanks, Sam

  Arbogast Collectors Welcome
Any Arbogast Collector is welcome to send me a photo or two (JPEG) of their collection or of Extremely Rare Arbogast pieces. I will display photos of your collection as well as a photo of yourself. Please include your name, city and state. You photos will be credited with your name and all information pertaining to your photo. Please take the time to share your extremely rare pieces with the world through Extreme Arbogast. E-mail JPEG photos to pamnsam@avenuebroadband.com Thanks, Sam

  ABOUT THE STARS
The Lure Market is a very volatile market with prices changing from day-to-day. Instead of assigning values to the lures on this Website, I have assigned STARS to establish rarity. The assignment of STARS will allow you to determine whether or not your lure is rare and valuable. Condition is also a determining factor for establishing value; the better the condition, the more money the lure will command. The more stars assigned to a lure, the more scarce the lure will be. The assignment of one star means the lure is very common in that color. The assignment of ten stars means the lure is extremely rare in that color. This is only a guide to assist you; use it accordingly.

  Extreme Arbogast
Hi. My name is Sam Van Camp and I want to welcome you to Extreme Arbogast; a site devoted entirely to lures made by the Fred Arbogast Company of Akron, Ohio. I hope you will use this site as a means of enjoying the vast array of colors used in the making of these lures, as well as the information about the company and the lures they made. Being a collector of Jitterbugs, Arbo-gasters and a former collector of Hula Poppers, I hope that I can share some of the information that I have learned about the wonderful lures made by Fred Arbogast. If you have any information that I can use or any lures that I might add to my collection, please e-mail me at pamnsam@avenuebroadband.com or give me a call at 217-662-6559. I hope you enjoy the site which is in its infancy at the present time. Thanks, Sam

  Musky Jitterbug Collection
This Arbogast Musky Jitterbug Collection consists of 116 lures, 60 of which are Special Order Colors. Many of these Special Order Colors are either One-Of-A-Kind or were made in numbers of four or less. There were only Two made in many of these colors, making these Extremely Rare. Please enjoy this site and visit it often as I will be making changes to it quite often during the winter months. Thanks, Sam
