I'm not able to fish for awhile due to an injured shoulder.  I am getting cabin fever, so I decided to go through my old tackle.  I have found my entire lure collection from the summer of 1977.  Two of the lures, I recently acquired off Ebay. the others were ones I managed to save from that summer.   Can anyone correctly identify all of them?

You were correct on the River Runt, Hot n Tot Deep wee R, Heddon Sonic, and Strike King Bill Dance spinnerbait.  Frog colored Fred Arbogast lure is called an Arbogaster.

The one on the far right in the bottom row looks like a big-o.

The Big O looked like it has thick paint chipped off on the back side . Thats Why I thought it was maybe a hand carved bait .

Only a few were not named by members.  Here is the complete list.

Top row. --  Heddon River Runt, Aquasonic Undertaker, Storm Hot n Tot, Rebel Deep we R

Second row.--Fred Arbogast Razorback. Heddon Super Sonic, Fred Arbogast Arbo-Gaster, Cotton Cordel Big O

Bottom row.-- Burke Deadly Dudly, Cotton Cordel Spring Killer, Strike King Bill Dance spinnerbait

    My PB for over 40 years was caught on the spring killer spinnerbait pictured.  The Undertaker is one I found on Ebay but is not the color I had.  The one I had in 1977 was fire tiger color.  If anyone has one in fire tiger, I would like to buy it.  

 

I still catch a few fish every spring on a hot and tot that same color
