newriverfisherman1953 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Black one is a Waterdog I think. Made by Bomber. 3 Quote

primetime Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 I think that bottom black one is called a Hellbender or something similar..I think its an old Heddon or Arbogast lure around the time of the Mudbug, maybe earlier...Its a Pradco lure for sure...I actually think they still sell it. May be under one of the many brands they sell on their site...So maybe its a bomber or One of the walleye baits buried in the catalog.... The top left looks like a creek chub. If you search on ebay for vintage Heddon, Arbogast, or just vintage bass lures you will likely find them quickly... Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 6, 2019 Super User Posted October 6, 2019 Bottom one is an old Heddon Hellbender - or knockoff. I use to carry one (yellow with black spots) in my tacklebox when I targeted Northern Pike, but I don't know what happened to it. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted October 6, 2019 Super User Posted October 6, 2019 I thinnk the bottom is a Bomber waterdog . It has the round lip .. Hellbender has a forked lip . 1 Quote

Super User WRB Posted October 7, 2019 Super User Posted October 7, 2019 The upper left not sure with glass eyes looks like a Pee Paw or Creek Chub, upper left could be a early Heddon Plunker or Popper Scout if eyes are back over the hook hanger. Bottom is a Bomber Waterdog. Whopper Stopper Hellbender has a heart shape diving bill. Tom Quote
billmac Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Definitely looks like a Hellbender on the bottom. Left one reminds me of a Creek Chub Wiggle Fish but they were jointed. Might be the same company though. I have no idea about the other one. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted October 7, 2019 Super User Posted October 7, 2019 The bottom one is a Bomber Waterdog. Hellbenders only have 2 segments and a heart shaped diving lip. The Bomber Waterdog has the round lip with 3 segments. 2 1 Quote
rboat Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 The top left is a Shur-Strike pikie minnow. It was a line of baits that came out under that name, but they were manufactured by Creek Chub. 1 1 Quote
