Arnold Tackle

Arnold Tackle Company  Michigan's Wooden Classic

The Arnold Tackle Company was a significant manufacturer of fishing lures based in Paw Paw, Michigan, USA. Its history dates back to the 1930s.

The company was known for producing popular vintage wooden fishing lures, rather than plastic ones (unlike many later companies).

Iconic Lures: Among their famous lures were the Hopalong, Chinco Troller Salmon, Wotta Frog, and Bullhead series.

Collectibility: Arnold Tackle lures, especially those dating from the 1930s and 1940s, are highly sought after by collectors today.

The Paw Paw Bait Company, which emerged around 1927–1930, purchased Arnold Tackle. This event merged two important brands known for their wooden products.
