Poe’s

Poe’s started in the 1950s when Milton Poe handcrafted his excellent cedar lures. And Poe’s Premium Wood crankbaits are still made from cedar. With numerous tournament victories credited to Poe’s, the approach was simple and unwavering: continue to produce durable, consistently running, handcrafted crankbaits and topwater lures with the most appealing profiles and colors. Every element of every lure was meticulously designed and tested to deliver the expected results.

Poe's Lures (originally Poe's Mfg.). The Poe's company began its journey as a small family business focused on handmade lures that quickly gained popularity due to their unique action.

Interesting Fact: The secret to the success of Poe's lures lay in the use of Balsa Wood, which is lighter than cedar and possesses unique buoyancy. This provides a more intense and dynamic action than plastic analogues, which is especially attractive to large bass. In the 1990s, the company was acquired by the major firm Yakima Bait Company.

The Poe's product line became synonymous with handcrafted wooden crankbaits:

Poe’s Crankbaits (1400, 400, 300 Series, etc.): Flagship models, representing deep-diving and medium-diving lures. They are known for their characteristic shape (round or flat-sided) and unparalleled action.

Poe's Cedar Plug: The original lure, made from cedar wood, which, although not a crankbait, remains one of the most recognizable in the lineup.

Poe’s Super Cedar: A heavier version of the lure, designed for saltwater fishing or catching large bass.
