Booger Hollow Bass Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I seem to have become a lure addict. I can’t seem to quit buying old tackle boxes of lures. I don’t know what it is but I get some kind of thrill going through these old tackle boxes and identifying these old lures. I know I will probably never find anything of any great value. I just enjoy finding out dates and details of when changes took place in the lure over the years. I have spent so much time looking at lure pictures because I have no way of looking them up by name. So I am hopping that som of you can see a picture and say I know what that one is. Or if you have one you need help with post it it may be one I finally located and know what it is. Or someone else is sure to know. I’m thinking some of these old timers may not remember their wives name but they can sure tell you what lure they caught that 10lb Bass on. Thanks for you help in keeping these old lures alive. Booger Hollow Bass (Ron) I’ll start this off with a River Runt. But it doesn’t seem to be a Heddon. It has no name and the hook hanger is different. The bill scoop is one piece that goes alway back to the front hook. Also like to know color name. Lippy Joe River 1 Quote

rboat Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 That appears to be from the old Paw Paw lure company which was in Michigan. They made several sizes, model #s, and of course colors. Some had different names as well. Together they were just known as the Paw Paw river type lure. Sizes were 2 5/8," model 9100 3 1/8." model 6300 & 3 1/4" model 9300. Some were known as "Lippy Joe River type lure." One company probably copied the other way back when since Heddon & Paw Paw were in close proximity in Michigan. Heddon made the "river runt". The color you show looks to be the color "pike." Hope that helps. 1 Quote

Thanks Smallie Chaser ill delete the pictures from earlier and see if that works I was hopping the lure pictures could stay posted so others might identify some they have or incase some one comes along and brouses through the pictures to see if they can recognize any On 1/28/2020 at 1:49 PM, Vilas15 said: That's called being a collector and there's plenty of people out there collecting old lures!
