I thought it was Heddon, but you might be right.

Here are some from my dad’s tackle box. My brother has the others. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...70625cbcd5.jpg

The flatfish used to have 2 double hook hangers. All these are now for display.

Very nice collection!

I stand corrected, the original Flatfish was produced , manufactured by Worden's, with the lure being designed by Charlie Helin... as mentioned by kickingfrog...

Yea those have a few years on them. Interesting that the basic design of most of these old lures are still used today. I like that bubble bee fly !!

Nice collections there guys .

I also have a box full of these older baits.

A lure I didnt see post was the older beno lure . I used it many years ago for chits and giggles and it got many pike to bite.

Still looking for some of them as I lost the only one I had.

It's not as old as the others but still hard to find as ive been looking for another .

It had like 3 or 4 joints in it so the moment was spectacular.

I'm not sure where my dad's beno ended up but I've got some that are only 20-25 years old and are still in an active box. I'll see if I can dig them up.

Walleye and pike nailed them lol.
Had 2 of them but lost the last one walleye fishing a few years back. Knew I shouldn't of tossed it in the river but it's what was working lol. Now I just resort to plastics only no lures to many rocks to much money lost due to snags on the bottom. With the plastic it's ok to loose a dozen jig heads in an evening. New soft plastics are softer these days too the fish tend to tear them up good. Went through 3 or 4 bags of plastics last year on the 3 evenings I went . But the fishing was fantastic so I cant really complain [emoji1787]

Some old reels as well. Boxes are not for those reels.

That looks a lot like how I remember my dad's tackle box looking. My eyes go right to the River Runts, Flatfish and Pikies.
