Heddon Zaragossa Lure
The Heddon Zaragossa Lure was a widely popular top water fishing lure. This antique fishing lure was made and marketed by Heddon of Dowagiac Michigan. The lure was first introduced in 1920 and last for over a half a century to 1971. This wooden, glass eyed lure was given a model series 6500 and measured between 4 1/4″ and 4 3/4″, weighing a 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz respectively throughout its progression. The Zaragossa would go through a few slight body changes but would essentially remain the same.

This is one of the most popular Heddon Minnows in Florida. Where it was first introduced a number of years ago, and has now gained popularity in all of the South Atlantic States both for Fresh and Salt Water Fishing.
Excellent results in Northern waters have also been reported, especially for bass.
It floats when at rest; travels slightly below the surface when retrieved. The feature of this lure is the way that it may be made to perform like a wounded minnow, diving under and bobbing its head up. This is readily done by giving the rod a slight upward jerk every few turns of the reel.
Regularly equipped with two extra strong treble hooks.
