The
Heddon 200 Expert casting lure, commonly known as “slopenose” by collectors,
was one of the first lures made by Heddon.
It was introduced 110 years ago in 1902 and remained in the lineup until
1912. The exact date of this example is
unknown but I believe it is around 1904-1907.
Considering this lure is over 100 years old, it is in unusually good condition. The blue paint on the nose is all but
flawless, and the white body paint is somewhat cracked, but totally
intact. Unfortunately, the tailcap has
been lost; but overall, this rare and valuable lure shows well for its age.
