CHANGE IN BAIT NUMBERS
Please Change Your Records Accordingly
In the past some contusion has been experienced duo to ihe numbering systein of Heddon
Bails, lergely because of the fact that numbers of some of the baits end in 0, others In 1,
gers in 2 and the majesty in 8. In order to coriect this stalin, the following change hos
been made:
Alll baits will continue fo have the same suries numbers, such us 9010, 9110, 9400,
tc, Each bolt in that series will end in a cipher, but a letior or sotios of lutiers will be
added to designate the color, so that the former 9119P will bo known as 9110P. Baits
ending in ! or 2 will end in 0 — as an example, $111 will bo known as SIORB, the
RB standing for Rainbow, and 9112 will bo known as SILORE, tho RH standing tor
Red Head and White Body.
The suine system will apply ty fly lures also, iG. the number of the Lure will be the
same cs the series number and the color will be designated as per above: 919XRY

ill be SIOXRY, 939XRY will be S30KRY, etc.

In order to clarity this we cre listing below the Dall eclors comprising our initial production,

Heddon originated and developed the procoss ol “tomporing” beuuboo, which adds to the strength and back-
bone of the rod. The beautiful “browntone” of Heddon rods is not a stain --- but rather a new character taken
on by the bamboo. Only thick-walled bamboo especially imported from China ts used in Heddon rods. Whilo
more expensive, ils greaily superior qualities and rugged durability have made Heddon Rods werthy of their
slogan "The Red with the Fighting Heart.” Due to painstaking solection, Heddon rods are not cutdown to
fit ferrules, hut rathor matched! to each patlicular sized ferrule. The perfect taper of each Joint, for the partic-
ular action: ia the recult of nearly @ half century of rod building exporience.
