South Bend Two Oreno Lure

The South Bend Two Oreno Lure was a series model number 975, and for some reason, shared a model number with a King Andy and a Pike Oreno, south bend had quite a few lures that shared numbers over time. That actually would explain the Two Oreno as its actually 2 Lures. The 1937 South Bend Antique Lure cataloged states; A Sensation for Bait Casters, two Lures in One. The Only Bait with Dual action. You can fish it from either end. Fishing from one end, it will go deep and has the actions of the well known Pike Oreno. Fishing with it from the other end it has the darting, diving action of the famous Bass Oreno, tried and true fish Getter of them all.
