A man from Crewe, Virginia owned a car dealership and a hotel. He loved to fish and design fishing lures. He started a lure company and made lures 1970's through the 1980's. His lures did not look modern, they looked like old 20's -40's lures.
Who was this man ? What was the name of his company ?
I will give some clues today around lunch time and will give the answer tonight and put a picture up.
Not a clue!
Sure am looking forward to the education though!
Thanks for all you do for us G!!

David Shelton aka Doc Shelton? Old Dominion Lure Co.
Creme lures
Ok guys....here are some clues
Since this man owned a car dealership....the lures were made there and were painted with automotive paint.
Also his most popular lures were named Mr. Whiskers and Big Mama.
Wow, not a clue for a guess from me, but i'm thinking maybe ripnlips has got this one. Just thinking, Virginia, Old Dominion.... makes sense to me.

Schmoopie, the answers are to be from what people know. That is why it is called trivia. "G" does this, so people can have some fun. Welcome to crappie.com
Well, if it has to be something I actually know, I'm all out of luck. I know NOTHING! :)Quote:

Ok guys....ripnlips nailed it, and silverside, Pico, and Schmoopie were all on it also. It was indeed David R. (Doc) Shelton and it was Old Dominion Lures.
I hope you enjoyed todays trivia, I know I did...See you next Monday morning.
Below is a picture of two of his popular baits....The one on the left is Mr. Whiskers and the one on the right is Big Mama.

Looking forward to next week. May have to get back into my dads old tackle box again.:fish
Nice! Never knew that they had auto paint on them. I supposed they would really glide through the water with a good Simonize job :biggrin
