Heddon Rod Co.
James Heddon & Sons
James Heddons & Sons of Dowagiac, Michigan, was an innovative fishing tackle company famous for its production of
fishing lures and bamboo fishing rods. From its beginning in 1911 until the end of production in 1956 the company produced
some of the finest moderately priced bamboo fly rods ever manufactured. The variety of styles, sizes and models has fascinated
both fly fishermen and collectors for most of this century. Additional information and details about the rods listed in this
Value Guide, and the company that produced them can be obtained from Michael Sinclair's last book, Heddon; the Rod with the
Fighting Heart.
Rods made by Heddon were marked differently in various eras of production. For example, rods prior to 1933 had Heddon
written straight along the shaft rather than spiraling around the rod; rods made prior to 1939 did not have the model name
on the shaft, only the model number; rods after 1939 had the model name and additional information on the shaft such as the
ferrule size and line designation.
