WELCOME

My lures are reproductions of antique patented wood fish lures created between 1900 and 1950. This was the golden age of wood fish lures in the United States. James Heddon is created with patenting the first wood fish lure in 1902 in Dowagiac Michigan. After the 1950’s plastic dominated the market. So that 50 year period is the heyday for wood fish lures.

Each lure I create is hand crafted of Basswood. Turned on my wood lathe and painted wit between six and eight coats of an oil based enamel and sealed with a clear finish. Component parts are high quality fish lure fittings and Eagle claw hooks.

Each lure has a distinct name , history and backstory that’s noteworthy to a fisherman or lure collector. They make an ideal gift and conservation piece for your favorite fisherman.

All lures come in an attractive wood presentation box with a written history and a copy of the original lure patent drawing.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR FAVORITE FISHERMAN
