This color has also been found under the Spook Ray (SR) color code, SR-XOY as evidenced by the box in the picture above though it was never cataloged as such.

In 1977, an identical color was cataloged for a Deep Diver River Runt Spook called Orange, Yellow Shore (OSS).

(Special thanks to Donnie Shingler for the Lucky 13 picture!)

REPRODUCTION ALERT! This color has been reproduced in Heddon's Punkinseed lure as a 'Collector' item in the past few years (2006-2008). It was never actually made by Heddon in the 1950's time frame.
