Starting with the bottom left going clockwise this is what I have so far:

1. ?

2. Bomber

3. Falls Big Inch Minnow

4. L&S 00M MirroLure Minnow

5. Pico Chico

Only one left, and it might be a home made bait.  Can't find anything like it online anywhere.

The black one could be a hellbender, or hot-n-tot??

Top to bottom starting upper left...

1. ?

2. Bomber- classic Christmas Tree

3. Bagley Pop n B3- I think. Looks too long to be a B2

4. ?

5. Bottom Middle... Heddon Sonic

Second column...

1. Moonlight No 1, lol. Cheated. Like the Sunline ad, just because we're rednecks do you think we can't read?

It's a fairly early attempt at a glow lure.

2. ?

3. Rebel Joe Camel Topwater. Neat, usually see more of the humpy crankbait in the Camel premiums.

4. Booby Lure. No, seriously. 

5. Jointed Shad Rap?

That blk/red spoon looking one is actually wooden. I think it is a very early "Moss Boss" type thing that probably had a skirt on it at one time.  Nobody has ever been able to identify it.  I threw it in our pool one day and it has a wicked surface action.  I actually considered trying to make one to throw because I think it would get bit bigtime.  

The bottom left (below the Bagley) is a Heddon Zara Puppy Popper. Bet you never knew such a thing existed. Can't even find one on a Google search.  It walks and pops like a Chug Bug.

There's tons of surface spoons. Just hard to tell. Wood is a good clue though. I even built a few wood spoons back in my grass lake days, trying to get one that would do some of the things a Moss Boss won't.

Bagley made some weird baits when they were playing out the string on inventory. Some of them are detailed in the Garland book. Turned baits backwards, put lips in baits not meant for it.

They even did that back in their heyday, to use up components. Thus the Broken B with the goofy grub tail.

You're spot on about the puppy. If I saw one, it was in a catalog, and I ignored it.

Found this one in a boat I took in on trade.  Says "Heddon Zara Puppy Pop" on it.   I was like....What?  I googled it and came up with nothing.   The guy that owned the boat was from Wisconsin, so it must be an exclusive Up-North thing.

White bass really like it, but it doesn't throw very well.  Too light.
