Heddon Slopenose

Heddon Slopenose

The Heddon Slopenose is a tribute to James Heddon's 1902 legendary Dowagiac Casting Bait, one of the most iconic surface lures in fishing history. Combining a classic 1902 silhouette with modern durability, this topwater plug is designed to create a unique surface disturbance that big fish simply cannot ignore.

Key Performance Features

• The "Slopenose" Advantage: The distinct angled head design is engineered to plow through the surface, creating a rhythmic splashing and "chugging" action that mimics wounded prey.

• Metal Collar Design: Features a signature metal collar that acts as both a stabilizer and a focal point for water displacement, ensuring the bait tracks perfectly during the retrieve.

• Surface Commotion: Whether worked with a steady crawl or erratic snaps, the Slopenose produces a deep-throated gurgle that calls fish up from the depths.

• Durable Construction: Built with rugged materials and high-quality hardware, this bait is as much a collector's piece as it is a functional tool for targeting trophy bass, pike, and musky.
