Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tornado Jig Lure, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #10753

Nickel-plated surfaces give this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) Heddon Tornado Jig Lure its distinctive reflective quality. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this specific model (Product Code 10753) features a sharp, angular design characteristic of Heddon’s engineering for vertical jigging and deep-water presentations. The metal body is stamped with the manufacturer’s name on the trailing flange, a detail that remains sharp and highly legible. Its solid construction is paired with a bright treble hook, indicating its intended use for targeting panfish or trout in cold water environments. This specimen is in exceptional shape, holding a 5/5 condition rating with a clean, mirror-like surface that reflects light effectively. Produced in the USA, the Tornado’s geometry relies on a weight-forward balance for distance casting. The line-tie hole is cleanly drilled at the tapered nose, while the hardware is secured via a split ring positioned right next to the embossed branding.
