I thought that water dawg lure was the same as the Hellbender. but I could be wrong.
Anyway hopefully someone could verify that this is correct.
Here's a picture of a Hellbender and here's an url where you can get em.

I did a search on google and it appears that I could very well be correct to assume that the hellbender and water dog are synonymous.
On ebay there's a lure for auction that fits the discription of a water dog lure and hellbender.

Here's the url:

Hellbender was made by whopper stopper. Waterdog made by bomber bait co. Similar lures. Check the lip shape, the hellbender is heart shaped, waterdog is oval.

Both still very available.
