Chapter 9 is is the photo section and it is broken down by lure type - Big Eyes, Chuggers, Crazy Crawlers, Hi-Tail, Prowlers, Punkinseeds, Spooks, Tigers and many others are highlighted with color photos and a short description and estimated value.

The final chapter is devoted to discussing lures that copied those produced by Heddon - much needed information if you are looking to build your collection!
