Can you name this jig?

[Pup]

This jig was sold under the name of a major tackle manufacturer. Can you tell me its name and that of the manufacturer?



Circa 1960s.

Actually ,it's a Heddon FIN-Jig ! I remember as a young teen seein the intro of this jig in the new,annual Spring Heddon catalog. It also came rigged with a special plastic worm,relatively new at the time for bass fishing, and seemed a great concept in a snagless presentation. It was!! That year with the fin-jig-worm I learned to catch largemouth bass at a phenomenal rate! Heck, I'd still love to play with a fin jig in some smaller sizes these days!

Yah, well, that identifies only the head. I've seen that material before, but not on a jig!

I believe the original Heddon fin jig that I had was made with real polar bear hair. Later I tied some of my own with real polar bear -great jig material!

Jiggerjohn is correct. It's a Heddon Fin Jig made with bear hair.

I thought the Doll Fly company had the market cornered on polar bear hair. Guess I was wrong.......
