River Runt lures have three different types of hook hangers. The early lures used the 2-piece surface hanger which is also referred to as the flap rig. The second type of hardware was the 1-piece surface rig, and the third, the surface mounted cup. During the change from 2-piece to 1-piece in the late 1940's, many River Runt lures were made using both types of hardware, typically, the surface piece on the front and the 2-piece on the back.
