If you are a collector or admirerer of antique fishing lures the punkinseed will be no stranger to you. One of the many lures of this type is the Glow Worm. Unlike it’s brothers and sister’s this lure is transparent and has a green shade which probably reminded the designer of a glow worm, hence the name.
A couple of days ago I wrote a review of the Solid Black Heddon Punkinseed lure. Just like the Solid Black lure the Glow Worm is from the line that was reissued by Heddon in 2005. The company introduced 50 new color themes and only made 600 lures per color. You can easily tell the difference between the old lures and the new ones because the new ones have “Heddon 9630 Punkinseed” printed on their belly.
What was special about these collector items is that they were priced very reasonable at $49.95. Needless to say they were all gone in no time. So the the Heddon company released a new batch which can now be found on eBay.
Lure details:
Brand: Heddon
Type: Freshwater
Color: Glow Worm
Extra’s: Cardboard Box & Original Paperwork

Buel produced lures that rivaled their European counterparts both in quantity and quality this book is a must have for your collection.
