This page was made strictly for Heddon Torpedo lures! Show & tell as well as buy, sell and trade. If you have a nice or a one of a kind Torpedo and you want to show it off. Send me a picture I'll display it (please make it a tough color or a variation). I will try to change the "SHOW & TELL" photos on a monthly basis. In order to do that I need everyone's cooperation! Please feel free to use my message board "TORPEDO TALK". Do not hesitate to email with any questions, corrections or just want to talk torpedoes! There is only one lure of each unless specified otherwise. Anybody who has dealt w/me before knows that I'm pretty easy to get a long with. Will rather trade than sell Torpedos any day! The icon next to the item number, means the latest items I have added. Free Shipping/Handling on all the Torpedoes within the US lower 48 (Insurance extra) The rarity ranking of the colors is my opinion.

*IS IT NEW OR OLD?* I have made this portion to show the differences between new Heddon Torpedo and old Heddon Torpedo lures. (NEWER Pradco era '84 - present) & (Pre-Pradco era '52 - '83 Tiny Torpedo and '69 - '83 Baby Torpedo). Not always can you use the eye color (Gold) to tell the differences. Here is what I have found to be the easiest way to tell. On the Tiny Torpedoes the older ones have a seam in the middle of the lure caused by the way the lure was "molded". As if the lure had two sections the head and the tail. On some of the lures is hard to tell especially the naturals, but if you run your finger nail you'll feel it. The newer ones lack the mid-section mold seam. On Baby Torpedoes the seam runs down the spine. As if the lure was sliced down its' back. The newer ones lack the spine mold seam. Another thing to look for is the placing of the stencil (Lettering). On the earlier ones it's very close to the belly hook, on the newer ones it's a bit further back. I have included some pictures of lures from my collection to help visualize what to look for. Some collectors (like myself) could careless if the lures is new or old. Others get offended if you try to sell them a Ebsco / Pradco era lure! The way I see it is, if I'm missing the color or variation, I'll try to add it to my collection. "XBL" BLUE SHORE EARLY (BOTTOM) AND "SD" SHAD (TOP) KNOWN PRADCO. "XRYBB" OLDER LEFT SIDE (SALESMAN'S SAMPLE) AND NEWER PRADCO RIGHT SIDE.
