DESCRIPTION: | River Runt Spook : Clear plastic body, yellow eye. The Tiny Sinking River Runt Spook shown dates to the 1950's based on the box it came in. The color code "X" is documented in a Heddon Sons Sales Manual (1966-1967).1 This color was first catalogerd in Heddon's 1974 catalog for Heddon lures but as the color code "C". The River Runtie Spook is one of the earliest examples of this 'color' and is uncataloged. (Picture of River Runtie Spook couresty of Ken Brown!)
