Heddon
150 c. 1908 (upper) vs. c. 1909 (lower). Note the pointed nose of
the lower bait. The upper bait is more blunt and called a 'bluntnose'
for that reason. The
1908 will be found in a wood box, the 1909 will be found in white box.
That said, it is entirely possible a late type V wood box could have the
1909 lure in it as Heddon would use left over boxes for current lures. |
