Hildebrandt Spinners
Hildebrandt: Over a Century of Excellence in Spinner Technology
Founded in 1899 in Logansport, Indiana, Hildebrandt is one of the oldest and most respected names in the American fishing industry. For over 125 years, the company has remained a specialist in the design and manufacture of high-quality spinners and blades.
The Heritage of John J. Hildebrandt
The brand's journey began in 1893 when John J. Hildebrandt fashioned his first lure out of a silver dime and a hairpin. By 1899, he officially established the John J. Hildebrandt Corporation, turning a kitchen-table hobby into a global standard for excellence.
Key milestones of the brand:
Premium Finishes: Hildebrandt was a pioneer in using genuine gold and silver plating to ensure maximum flash and durability.
Legendary Models: The brand is famous for the Snagless Sally, a spinnerbait that remains a staple for bass anglers fishing in heavy cover.
Expert Craftsmanship: Today, under the Yakima Bait Company umbrella, Hildebrandt continues to produce blades known for their perfect balance and instant rotation.
