Monday Morning Fishing Trivia # 27

Once upon a time...a man began to design and make his own lures...he then started selling some and later started his own company. He went on to be one of the worlds largest lure companys. Who was this man ?

I will give a hint later on today and will give the answer tonight.

Lauri Rapala. is my guess.

Rapala for me too.

An iconic image or thing is important or impressive because it seems to be a symbol of something. In this case famous.

OK...Lots of good guesses but Mbsbeek and ichabod go it right, it was Fred Arbogast from Akron, Ohio. One of his most iconic lures was the Hula Popper which came out in the early 40's. Fred sold his company to PRADCO in 1997 but several of his original lures are still being made today. The first two lures that I ever had was a Hula Popper and a Jitter bug.
I hope you enjoyed todays trivia...I know I did...see you next Monday.
Here is a Picture of a Hula Popper

I know Rapala was from Finland not Ohio.
