Sutton
Sutton Company is a historic American fishing tackle brand, founded by Roy Sutton in the 1930s in Newark, New York, and renowned for its production of exceptionally thin spoon lures.
Roy Sutton started the company after developing a spoon that he believed outperformed everything else on the market. The company flourished throughout the mid-20th century.
Sutton spoons are distinguished by their extremely thin construction (typically made from thin brass, plated with silver or gold) and a unique, soft, quivering action that perfectly mimics a wounded or dying baitfish.
Key Products:
The Sutton Spoon: The flagship product, produced in various sizes, numbered from №1 to №88. Models №44 and №71 are particularly popular.
Sutton lures became classics for catching Trout, Salmon, and Lake Trout, especially in clear waters where a delicate, realistic presentation is essential. They are also popular for shallow-water trolling.
Unlike many vintage brands that faded away, the Sutton brand continues to operate and is manufactured by the same small firm in New York State, preserving the original tools and handcrafted methods pioneered by Roy Sutton. It remains one of the few American companies that still produces its lures according to the original 1930s specifications.
