Limited-Edition Lures for 25th Anniversary of Bass Fishing Hall of Fame
Starting September 1st, PRADCO lures will be offering a limited-edition series of lures that feature the autographs of five members of the inaugural Bass Fishing Hall of Fame induction class. This is a collector set of legacy Heddon, Norman, and Cotton Cordell fishing lures with the signatures of Rick Clunn, Bill Dance, Roland Martin, Bobby Murray, and Larry Nixon. As the parent company of all these lure makers, PRADCO will be making 300 of each bait in five commemorative custom colors, each with a price tag of $14.99 each. The plan is to have a total run of 1,500 lures to generate $22,000, which will be all donated to the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame to be used for projects that align with its core mission of preserving, promoting, and conserving bass fishing. The lures were unveiled at the Hall of Fame’s social mixer on March 20 during the Bassmaster Classic in Fort Worth, Texas.
“There is no better way to commemorate the Hall of Fame’s 25th anniversary than to release these iconic baits signed by the sport’s legends,” said Bruce Stanton, vice president and general manager of PRADCO’s fishing division. “What makes this limited-edition lineup even more special are the lure designers or founders are also Hall of Famers.”
For the Rick Clunn signature lure, it will be the Heddon One Knocker Spook in Green Back Gizzard color. The Bill Dance signature lure will be the Heddon Spit’n Image in Threadfin Flair color. The Roland Martin signature lure will be the Heddon Super Spook in the Peacock Bass color. The Bobby Murray signature lure will be the Cordell Big O in Hot Gill. The Larry Nixon signature lure will be the Norman Deep Little N in the unique Enchilada Sauce color.
“With the exception of Bill Dance, the other four legends are not currently sponsored or affiliated with the PRADCO brands,” Stanton said. “Supporting the Hall of Fame’s core values was their motivation to be part of the limited-edition series. We do appreciate their willingness and in some cases their sponsors’ willingness to do this for the Hall. Again, it shows how the Hall brings the industry together.”
These limited editions lures will be available on PRADCO’s online store at Lurenet.com beginning Sept. 1. Additionally several full sets will be in the Bassmaster Celebrate Bass Fishing Week auction in September as part of the lead up to the 2025 induction ceremony on Sept. 25 at Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium in Springfield, Mo.
