Heddon Five Hook 00 Dowagiac Minnow

The # 00 Heddon Dowagiac Five Hook Minnow was first introduced by James Heddon & Son in 1912 and was made until around 1927. Heddon Dowagiac Minnows were wooden with glass eyes. They were advertised as having only a few catalogued colors and some special order colors have also been found.
