Fellow Fisherman: ~-
Thousands of anglers each year ask for and enjoy their
Heddon Catalog. We hope you like yours, and if you
already have one, please hand this to a fisherman friend.
On other side is an order blank for your convenience.
We suggest that you make up your memo of Heddon tackle
and take it to your Dealer to fill or to order for you.
But please rejeot all substitutes, -- it's YOUR money
and you have the right to insist on getting what YOU
want. Remember, -- If Dealer will not supply you, then
mail direot to us and we vii! give é
with a guarantee of satisfacti
prompt citention,
or money refunded.
Just a suggestion, -- Don't skimp yourself on Baits.
They are such a SMALL part of the cost of your trip, but
the MAIN factor in determining whether it is good fun or
flat failure. Be sure to get several "RIVER-RUNT SPOOKS",
also a "FLAP-TAIL"; -- YOU will get fish when others fail.
Remember, -- "The River-Runt does the Stunt". .
There's a lot of fun, too, in trying out DIFFERENT baits;
and a variety assures success. Some days fish will hit
Surface Baits, and on other days, they prefer Diving or
Underwater ones. Study the "Bait Chart" and note Special
Selection shown in red figures, also how to use them.
And don't forget your old fishing "pal" who will want one
just like yours! "Two-of-some" is a good motto, and also
insurance in case of loss of your favorite "plug".
Last, but not least, don't risk losing your string of
beauties on an old rotten or worn-out Fish Stringer. That
new Heddon-Winona Stringer is extra-strong and very con-
venient, -- either plain cord or with metal snaps.
Cordially yours,
CHARLES HEDDON,
President.

Because they do catch more fish as proven by their outstanding Leader
ship in “Field and Stream’s” National Fish Contests for 24 Years.
“Been-There” Fishermen prefer Heddon Baits because they are the original wooden minnow
and of recognized highest quality. Now improved and duplicated in transparent. material
found exclusively in the famous Heddon “Spook” Baits on pages 4-5-6 and 7. Furthermore
the experienced fisherman knows that the bait must be a real fish-getter or Heddon would
not make it
Heddon Baits cost slightly more than numerous imitations, a difference that is more than
justified by the difference in quality, their serviceability, and fish-getting ability.
Nothing but the best goes into them: — The choicest of seasoned cedar and gumwood; the
fastest colors and the highest grades of paints and enamels; and the best grades of hooks,
imported from England and made especially to rigid specifications, Heddon hooks are now
cadmium-plated to make them as rust-proof as possible, — not just nickeled or painted.
