Hi, I have had this lure for quite for some time. Started collecting vintage lures back in the 80's when I had a bait and tackle shop here in fla....would love to know what it is...any help will be appreciated alot.
Thanks for looking...Basslady
Lures are beautiful. Do you have photos of others? I like the punkinseed and minnows by Heddon. Tx!
Thanks,yes I have many more, but need to find out about this one,
thanks for the comment, Have a great week-end
Hey Basslady,
I can't be sure, but I think you have an Eger -Dillinger bait. The paint and gill marks look like their Blue Mullet Scale pattern w/o the scales. Eger experimented with a lot of lure styles that never made the catalogs. The eye paint also changed over the years.

Beautiful rainbow color lure
Looks like Eager or possible Barracuda??. I would go with eger. Possible experimental lure from the factory. Either way it is a nice lure you have
