Because of the success of the lures released between 1950 and 1978 and because it was very difficult to obtain a punkinseed at a reasonable price these days Heddon decided to release a new line of these amazing bass catchers.
This Heddon punkinseed lure is one of the many available lures in the popular 9630 spook lure collection. This particular lure is completely in solid black with a touch of gold. All black Heddon lures started to show up in the 1940’s and were special ordered on other lures through the 1970’s.
By marking each bait with “Heddon 9630 Punkinseed” the Heddon firm makes sure the collector’s investment is protected.
The lures these days are all carefully shipped with a high quality two piece cardboard box and original paperwork.
The box has incredible packaging design similiar to those of the 1950’s with paperwork.
Product details:
- Brand: Heddon
- Type: Freshwater
