I just acquired a bunch of my dad's fishing equipment and found these vintage lures in the lot.  I know what some of them are but I have no clue on the others.  Anyone know what they might be?

Also found this fun looking bait that looks like a slice of watermelon.  It's a Heddon Hedd Hunter.  From a web search they are finicky to try to get tuned right but when set up correctly they have a super wide hunting wobble.

Little bit like the Rebel Humpy's and Norman Scoopers.

One obvious Bomber. The bottom right bait looks like the Bomber version of a Bayou Boogie, name escapes me. Bigger jointed bait looks like an L&S Shiners Minnow.

Out on the other two without researching them.

He has several Rebel Humpys in there also along with almost what it seems a whole 3650 box of original rapala stick baits.

Is #5 a Pico Chico or a Pico Perch?

It says PICO on one side of the 'lip" of it under the eye and the other side says CHICO

The top one is an Inch Minnow.  I used to fish them when I was a kid fishing Big River--sunfish loved them.  Bass, not so much.  I once stuck both those tiny treble hooks into my buddy's scalp.  Ended up just taking a pair of pliers and grabbing onto the body and ripping it out.  Ouch.  Glad it was him and not me :)
