5.0 out of 5 stars
Great catalog,
This review is from: Heddon Catalogs: 50 Years of Great Fishing (Paperback)
I read through this at the library. The Heddon heritage is kept well alive with this book and any fisherman or collector would be missing out if they don't read about Heddon's legacy. Because of the Heddon family, we now have a $30 billion dollar recreational fishing industry supporting over 300,000 jobs.
