Name These Baits.

Goin through my grandfathers tackle box. Curious the names and applications. Are the ones with the odd shaped bills for trolling or casting? The long yellow and black one with the tail spinner lays on its side. Is it a topwater? Thanks for your input fellas.

Soarthumbs brother you need to go to Hobby Lobby and get a shadow box made with them in it. I recognize some of them from my grandfathers collection but don't remember the names but true classics.

The top picture includes Bombers and Hellbenders (made by Heddon). They were great trolling lures in the day!!!

Looks like a couple of River Runts in the top right, 2nd picture. Have a few of those myself, caught a few bass on them in my younger days. The ones I have are probably 40-45 years old.

I'm familiar with all but the red/white one. What's that?

I want the two hoodlers

in the 2nd photo there is black shore minnow Punkinseed I think. 6 years ago Punkinseeds were a hot sale on ebay. They are still o.k., so you might want to clean it up a bit and hold on to it until you can research its' value. Otherwise, bombers, hellbenders, Hoodlers?, a couple of river runts, and a bass oreno in the bottom right of the last photo. They are very common vintage lures, and as said above, would make a great shadow box for the man cave.

I also see a mudbug

[Sore Thumbs]

In the 2nd pic bottom right. Its bright yellow on the side and eyes are on top and bottom. It has a bend in it. Is that made for topwater?

top pic, you have one mudbug, ane bomber, and the rest hellbenders. middle pic, the top right two are river runts. not for sure of the rest. bottom pic, the top left is another mudbug. the next one over could be a rogers crawpap. the bottom row, the first two are hoodlers, and the one on the left might be a bassoreno.
