Heddon River Runt Lures Series 110The
Heddon antique lure the River Runt Series No. 110 was first shown off in the
1929 Heddon Dowagiac Lure catalog. This same year two other now antique lures
would make their way into the ever evolving fishing lure market, the Heddon
Meadow Mouse , and the Heddon Fly Rod Sized, Tiny Tease.
In an excerpt taken from the catalog: "A small, compact,
lively lure for light rods. Very effective for river fishing, particularly for
Small Mouth Bass, and equally good in other waters for all game fish. A slow
sinking bait with an attractive wiggling motion. Regularly equipped with two
sets of treble hooks; also obtainable with double on the belly and single on the
rear. Length is 2 5/8 inches. Weight is about 1/2 ounce. Packed one in a box."
