Vintage Heddon Jointed Tadpolly series #9015, 2/5oz Bloody Mary fishing lure #20729

Bloody Mary coloring defines the visual identity of this chrome-finished lure, showcasing a vibrant orange rib pattern along its silver sides. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) and measuring 4" (10 cm), this specific specimen belongs to the Heddon Jointed Tadpolly series #9015, a line that enjoyed a very limited production window and was last seen in catalogs in 1984. This American-made lure features a two-piece jointed construction held together by a sturdy metal link, ending in a translucent orange plastic tail. The hardware remains in unused condition, with the original treble hooks and the stamped diving lip maintaining their bright, reflective surfaces. Identifying this particular piece is product code 20729, marking a short-lived chapter in Heddon’s manufacturing history.
