The company that I have in mind today was founded in 1897. Their first lure was made out of wood and then later on they made the bodies out of hollow aluminum. This company was one of the longest operating companies of the now classic lure makers.
What was the name of this company ? and what was the name of their first lure ?
I will post some hints later on today and will give the answer tonight.
This above all: to thine own self be true. it might be Bill's great grandson.
