Jeanette Hawley Baits Lures
Jeanette Hawley - Mohawk, FL
Jeanette Hawley Fishing Lures and Baits were Heddon lures made for
and sold by Will T. Heddon's wife Laura. Jeanette Hawley was Laura's commercial
name. The lure came with robust cup hardware
specially designed for the Florida large mouth bass. Will Heddon, son of James
Heddon, wrote articles
about his fishing adventures in Florida. He often stayed at the "Jolly Palms"
motel in Mohawk in Lake County, FL. In the March, 1904 issue of the Field &
Stream magazine, Will writes about his experiences in catching bass and hunting
alligators while in Mohawk, FL. The Jeanette Hawley Baits are considered to be one of the great
collectible lures.
