Heddon River Runt Lures Series 110

The 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."
