Heddon 1969 Canadian Catalog
1969 Heddon Canadian Fishing Lure Catalog
The 1969 Heddon Canadian fishing lure catalog provides collectors with a detailed look at the lures and fishing tackle offered by the James Heddon's Sons, a Division of Victor Comptometer Corp out of Dowagiac, Michigan. Heddon was one of the most influential fishing lure manufacturers of the twentieth century. By 1969, Heddon had undergone ownership change but was still a giant in the fishing lure industry and continued to produce lures popular with anglers and collectors today. Vintage fishing lure catalogs like this are important reference materials for identifying lure models, studying finishes and packaging, and researching the history of classic fishing tackle.
This catalog is part of the My Bait Shop Master Catalog Archive Project (MCAP), a growing digital archive of vintage fishing tackle catalogs and historical reference materials for collectors and researchers.

Collector Tip
Remember to check for non-U.S. catalogs. Many companies made them from time to time. Some of these show colors or products that weren't available in the U.S. They can be quite similar to the U.S. version or very different. In either case a great variant to collect.

Historical Notes from the 1969 Heddon Canadian Catalog
First let me say that I used to think this was the 1968 Heddon Canadian catalog. For years. Only recently when I obtained the real 1968 Canadian catalog did I realize my error. Now I am 99% sure this is 1969.
The 2020 Commando was new and introduced on page 39. The Lucky 13 was brought back in the wooden "Original" classics line.
The back cover offers Bear Bows and Bowfishing equipment.
Below is the complete scanned 1969 Heddon Canadian fishing lure catalog. Each page is shown in order so collectors and researchers can study the lure models, finishes, and tackle descriptions used by the Heddon company during this period.
