SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The second Induction Class of the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame is being featured in the latest round of Bass Fishing HOF Signature Lures.
Bass fishing icons Johnny Morris, Jimmy Houston, Denny Brauer and Bob Cobb — surviving members of the Induction Class of 2002 — have teamed up with PRADCO Outdoor Brands lure designer Frank Scalish to create memorable topwater designs for the 2026 Bass Fishing Hall of Fame auction. These new colors will be featured on Heddon lures, a brand founded in 1894 by Bass Fishing Hall of Famer James Heddon.
These lures will be available for sale exclusively at www.lurenet.com on September 1. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.
"These legends helped build the lifestyle of bass fishing," said Bruce Stanton, president of the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame Board of Directors. "I can't think of a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their induction than by putting their names on a legendary Heddon topwater lure. This will be a must-have for lure collectors and people who love topwater fishing. Only 450 of each will be made. And when they're gone, they're gone!"
Johnny Morris' signature will appear on a Heddon Super Spook 5-inch — a topwater walking bait with three treble hooks. He worked with Scalish on a bleeding shad pattern named "Milk Shaker Shad."
Jimmy Houston's signature will appear on a Heddon Super Spook Jr. This walk-the-dog lure will feature a one-of-a-kind tree frog pattern named "Red Eye Tree Frog."
Denny Brauer's signature will appear on a Heddon Magnum Torpedo. This single-prop topwater bait will feature a shad pattern developed by Brauer and Scalish dubbed "Threadfin."
Bob Cobb's signature will appear on an Original Zara Spook — the original walk-the-dog lure. His Spook will feature a unique, classic frog pattern known as "Bullfrog."
"The Hall would like to show special appreciation to Strike King and Luck-E-Strike for allowing some of their top pros to sign their names to Heddon brand lures," Stanton said. "Once again, I think it shows how the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame bridges gaps and helps bring the bass fishing industry together."
