Does the heddon cousin float or sink?  Its shaped quite a bit like the stutter step lure.

If I remember they dive like a crank bait.  The line tie was on top above the front hook.

The Cousin is a diver on the retrieve.

Ah gotcha.  I just now saw the line tie up on top.

I've still got a lot of that stuff.  The old Mitchell 408's and 409's were great reels and easy to take apart and clean and re-lube.  I've a couple of each along with the 300 and a couple of Cardinals.  I also have an old Fenwick rod like Al mentioned.  Pistol grip and Carboloy guides.  I remember when you would get "all your fishing stuff" at the local hardware store and when I would be in there with my mother she would always warn be to stay away from those hooks-heck she had be convinced they would jump out and hook me.

Speaking of hooks how long has it been when we got hooks like this?
