Heddon 1975-1976 Catalog
1975-1976 Heddon Fishing Lure Catalog
The 1975-1976 Heddon 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 1975-76, 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My Bait Shop Master Catalog Archive Project (MCAP), a growing digital archive of vintage fishing tackle catalogs and historical reference materials for collectors and researchers.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
You will notice some interesting things going through catalogs. Lure companies did not publish these catalogs with the intent that decades later collectors or researchers would be going through them with a fine tooth comb looking for details. Sometimes you find mistakes, misprints or just other things of interest.
For example this catalog lists the 210 Surface Bait as new. It is listed as new again in the 1977 Heddon catalog. Just an interesting little tidbit.
