Augusta Outdoors - Fishing Lures of the Past - The Heddon Lure Company Story

In the latest issue of Augusta Outdoors, Rob Pavey talks about the Heddon Lure Company and some of the earliest fishing lures. Starting as a small, in-home operation in Michigan, the Heddon Lure Company grew into a giant fishing lure manufacturer in the early 1900s. If you love to fish, or even if you love history and American inventors, this story will definitely interest you.

I catch big big trout with his flat fish.... I love this story and his lures have been passed down... Thank You for preserving this Gem of America...

Damn I wish you were still making videos you deserve so much more clout thank you for your knowledge

Wow amazing video!! I’m a pretty serious angler, and still to this day have and regularly USE one old beat up Heddon lure(top water Spook, usually last lure of the day towards dusk) they were a lot more popular when I was younger but now these days you just don’t see them for sale really anymore such a shame....

I recently grabbed a couple Heddon Tiger lures, having gotten mad at Rapala and Rebel lol! The Rapalas swim right but tear up easy. The Rebels don’t swim right. The Tiger lures definitely won’t tear up lol they’re made like bricks. And they swim right. Unfortunately the construction makes them a tad heavy. So I’m still looking to replace Rapala and Rebel for my bream fishing.
