Are the Helfrich lures being produced today of the same quality and just as good as the original ones in the early 80’s? Any of you using today’s stock??

Not sure if that lure brand is made today, but Sterling Fur Company has an inventory of the different Helfrich types. Sterling Fur may even own that lure line....not sure.

I still have a few items of the lures I got when Jim was still in the business ni the 1980's Some of It is a little dry but it still has an odor and my guess is it would still catch fur .

I’m just wondering if anyone is using them since Keith starting making them and if they are still as good as they once were.

Sterling Fur Co. is a first rate trapping supply business If they are marketing a produce under a certain brand name I would be pretty sure it is what they say it is .I used Helfrich lures quite a bit during the 1980's So they caught fur The only way to really know if they work for you is to buy some of them and see if you get the results you are hoping for .
