Heddon “Torpedo” Underwater

“These Torpedo Lures are sinking minnows with long body and small diameter, believed by many to be an advantage over a thick body in hooking and holding hard-mouthed fish. A favorite because of the ease with which it shoots to the mark, as straight as an arrow. Has a weird “crawling” appearance in water and is a fine “actor” in streams. In contrast to cheaply made baits of like type, note the Heddon construction, eyes, patent hook fastening, superlative finish. Made in two sizes, two and 3 hooks.”
