The company's claim to fame was the "Weedless Spoon." * This lure featured a signature wire guard over the hook point, allowing it to bounce off timber and glide through weeds where big Northern Pike and Musky hide.
Their catalog also included surface lures and jigs tailored for the rugged fishing conditions of the Northwoods. Today, these lures are highly collectible artifacts of American tackle history.
