Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Hedd Plug, 1/4oz pearl fishing lure #23778

A classic pearl finish defines this Heddon Hedd Plug, accented by subtle pink and yellow highlights that give it a distinctive vintage aesthetic. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this USA-made specimen features a deeply cupped face designed for topwater popping. The side of the body carries a prominent yellow-tinted eye with a black pupil, while the underside clearly displays the 'HEDD-PLUG' stamp in black block lettering. Rated at 5/5, the condition is excellent, preserving the original sheen and the integrity of the dual treble hooks. Identified by product code 23778, this lure showcases the mid-century craftsmanship Heddon is known for. The design tapers from the broad splashing mouth down to a slim tail section.
