Heddon is a brand of artificial fishing lures created by James Heddon, (originally a beekeeper) who is credited [by whom?] with the invention of the first artificial fishing lures made of wood in the late 1890s.

The fisherman will then "swim" or "dangle" the decoy to attract a fish in close enough to spear.
