In the late 1890s James Heddon cast his hand-made
lure into a Dowagiac, Mich., pond and the ripples
are still expanding. It marked the beginning of a
new era, the artificial fishing lure era. Founded in
1902, Heddon was one of the pioneer manufacturers
of artificial fishing lures. This new title (Volume
I of III) examines in great detail each of the over
400 Heddon lures that were featured in Heddon’s
annual catalog for the 82 years that they called
Dowagiac home. This 560 page book also has chapters
on colors, lures of special interest and more.
With over 400 color pages, it’s sure to be the ONE
book that everyone interested in Heddon lures must
have. The book will be an 8.5 x 11-inch, coffee-table
style with a deluxe hard bound cover featuring
glossy, double-coated pages allowing for superior
photo reproduction.
