Overview
My lures are reproductions of antique patented wood fish lures created from about 1900 to 1950. This was the heyday for wood lures in the united states. Before 1900 there were no wood fish lures, they were mostly metal, glass or ceramic. By 1950 plastics had taken over and dominated the market. So that fifty year period was the golden age for wood fish lures. This was also a uniquely American experience and qualifies as an American art form. Pure Americana.
Each lure is turned on a wood lathe painted and assembled by the artist. The lure comes in a beautiful wood presentation box with a written history and a copy of the patent drawing.
As a gift for your favorite fisherman or collector these lures will inspire and create conversations for generations, an Heirloom Lure.
The perfect gift for your favorite fisherman.
