I found some old lures I was give a while back. Not sure exactly what they are. Any help identifying them would be great. Thanks

The top one looks to be a devilhorse by cottoncodel and the last one looms to be a heddon to me but im no lure expert

The red and white one looks like a Bass O Reno.

Bottom one is a midgOreno smallest of the three sizes. Bass, Spin, midg.
I think the middle one is a pop and spin.
Top is as said before devilhorse
All three are good bass lures

The lucky 13 looks to be wood, if so it does have value. Heddon made them from wood originally then switched to plastic in the 60s perhaps?

We used to use the lucky 13 as a popping cork in the marsh down here for specked sea trout. We would take the back hook off and put a leader in the eye and tie a lead head on the leader. Then put a grub on the lead head and catch trout 2 at a time. Also it is common for the bigger trout to hit your cork so they got a surprise when they hit that cork. Great memories and boat loads of fish literally. When I was a kid the black with white stripe was my favorite bass lure. There is nothing like watching a nice bass explode on a top water. Again great memories.

The lucky 13 had a mouth that went straight across forming an upper “lip” which made it a top water popper. The third lure has no upper lip allowing it to be fished on top, very slow retrieve, short twitches for a sputtering darting presentation or a medium slow steady retrieve for a shallow, about three feet diver. The midge-o- Reno and spin-o-Reno were my grandfathers go to bass plug usually in coachdog or a sky blue with yellow spots. I caught enough bass on both to fill several bathtubs. If memory serves the Bass-o-Reno had three trebles and was about 5” long and 11/4” in diameter.

Well we kind of got one right. The devil horse was made by smith wick not Cotton Cordell. The third one is not a lucky 13 not a MidgeOreno either. The nose of the lure bothered me as it seamed to be to sloped and not blunted at the bottom like the Oreno series. Have to say Knock Off of the oreno. I have seen some generic ones in “Bass Fishing kits” like big box stores sell.
