Heddon 150 Fishing Lure Colors as listed in the Heddon Catalogs

By Dr. Michael Echols

 

The following Heddon lure color facts were derived from copies of old Heddon catalogs which are available from the NFLCC library or from my personal Heddon catalog collection.  I also leaned heavily on an unpublished article from the NFLCC library by Ray Carver for general guidance.

Special colors were available as were some colors from previous years. A prime example is Sienna Fancy Back which shows up in some later L-rig lures.
