These were given to me today .   I'm going to use them . I have never fished a HellBender , I have fished an old metal lipped Bomber. I caught a bunch of bass night fishin with that old bomber lure .

 

Heres my old Bomber . Its a bass catching son of a gun .

 

The coach dog pattern lure with rounded diving lip is a Bomber Waterdogs lure, the others are Hellbenders.

These lures are better trolled then casts, they tend to helicopter in the air during a cast and take awhile to achieve maximum diving depth with a lot of water resistance. your bomber looks like a 300 series, can't tell it's size however.

Looks like a Mudbug, you can still find them pretty easily. 

Big lures back in the '60's. I really liked to use a yellow hellbender in rocky areas and gravel bars. It roots along the bottom and stirs up smallmouths pretty good. I always have a couple in my tackle box.

That one is a Bomber , I have several old mudbugs that I still use .

I collect Hellbenders...deep diving suckers but they take awhile to get there.  They WILL catch fish....especially Pike up North.

Are they plastic or wood lures?
