Any history or feedback on these?

Came across 6 of them. All never fished and in perfect shape.

They worth trying?

caught a lot of fish on these spinnerbaits back in 60's and 70's....wasn't any national brands of spinnerbaits that I'm aware of until tournament bass fishing got started...

What beartrap said. I have a friend who still catches lots of bass on them in the spring. Also, perfect stock pond spinner bait.

H and H spinner. Great old timer!

A lot of stores had a display of them stapled on a large poster board. You pulled the ones off that you wanted. They were dirt cheap even back then.

The double blade is interesting, but I have used many of the single blade. Great pond bait in East Texas

Ain't no way you don't know about H&H spinnerbaits. That's like not knowing about a beetle spin. No damn way.. I grew up throwing the black/chartreuse double Colorado in the trinity River bottom sloughs and ponds down here. Smashed everything that swam.

Earth. Duh.

First spinnerbait I was aware of was Terminator. That knowledge only came from watching Roland Martin or Bill Dance or some such angler on TNN when I was like 10.

Since then I have fished about every modern spinnerbait out there. Big fan of war eagles. Those are all I mess with now... especially the ones with the hammered blades.

Finding these, and them having the hammered blades got my interest up. I may change the skirts on them for custom hand-made ones my buddy makes.

See if these old dogs will still hunt.

Iconic bait. And if you mixed them in tackle box with a couple plastic worms you got a big mess

When I was a kid (early 1960's) these sold for 19 cents. They were stapled to a piece of cardboard about 20 H&H bait for each display, and you just pealed off the bait(s) you desired. The only spinnerbait that I recall at that time. Another great bait during this period was the Herb's Dilly, an early version of todays buzz bait. Been a while.

My mom would buy me those at Skaggs Albertsons in the early 70's just to shut me up. Slung them on my 202. Oh those where the day's.

I think they were created on the 8th day yes

Yes; keep those h+h skirts separate from everything else.

Has to be one of the most fish catching baits ever produced.
I’ve used them since I was a little turd jumping my uncles farm ponds and many trips on east Texas lakes growing up in the best decade ever… the 80s
You could buy a couple pockets full of them for $10.00 and like others said, you learned real quick, the skirts would do some crazy stuff in a tackle box if not separated from other baits LOL

If bass fishing lures had a hall of fame induction, the Creme plastic worm might be first, but the H&H would be right there behind it…
