Yes, old and new. There are a lot of regional lure makers that are never known out of their county or state.

These should be nationwide lure dealers right? Even in Canada...LoL I'm on the list. There's a few more here in Canada I can think of but they are not well known in Eastern Canada and in the US I believe. Cool thread Stef

1st River Rat - 19&20 are two different makers. Johnathan & Asa - Thanks, I forgot about those you noted. (and many more) Stef - Just because you're North of the border makes no difference!

Asa, Thank you for that nod and clarification to amplify my antique "memory." I remembered that one, too.

Does anyone have Don Hunter from OH on their list. I bought fox lure from him years and years ago and that stuff was extremely effective down a hole.

There have been hundreds come and gone since I was a kid. Just can't recall all of the names right now. There was Gene something the Old Bounty Trapper, The Minnesota State Predator controller, one of the founders of the PA TA, etc, etc. One of these days I'll dig out some old FFG mags from the 40's and refresh my memory. Either that or Jack Turner can give us those 175 names, LOL. Oh 'ya, Donald Niemic Lures, Manistee, MI! I give Jack a bottle or two of Niemic lures to go with his collection. Oh 'ya, forgot good 'ol Roy "Finn" Syrjamaki who sold lures for years. Ace

Speaking of Paul Grimshaw, Paul has bought a lot of lures wholesale from me over the years and has a sizable catalog so he must have a pretty good clientele of trappers. I have wondered from time to time why I have never in 10 years read anything good, bad or otherwise about Paul. Anyone have any input on Paul Grimshaw??? Ace i have done business with Paul off and on for a number of years. i have always found him to be one of the most honest people i have ever dealt with. he still does business the old fashioned way. i think his son has joined him a few yr back also.
