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

Since the Heddon Zara Spook Fishing Lures were introduced in the late 1930’s there isn’t a single lure that was written about more than this one. The lure’s plump profile is an irresistable target for pike and bass. This is a proven fact.
Using a rythmic, slack-line retrieve will make this lure walk back and fort, from left to right imitating a wounded fish almost perfectly.
People from all over the world use Heddon Fishing Lures and are very pleased with them. Here are some testimonies of some satisfied Zara Spook users:
By FishinsMyLife317 from SC:
“The first time I used this bait, I hooked a 30+ pound carp, which was not what I was hoping for. After that , all I caught was big bass. A bait that has been around for so long must be good, and I have the pictures to prove it is.”
By PSUROTHS from Kansas:
“This is the lure that all other walking top waters have to match up against, the Zara Spook! These have been catching fish for years, and there seem to be no stopping them. They may lack the flash of the new Dawg lures but what it may lack it makes up for in value.”
Lure Specificatons:
Weight: 3/4 oz.
Length: 4-1/2”
Hooks: two #1/0

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
- Color: Solid Black
- Extra’s: Cardboard Box & Original Paperwork
