What year did he introduce his famous Pro's Choice lure?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Just as infamously, when did it become a POS? The answer would be 2019, the vintage that used a white label instead of the yellow! The trapper will NEVER see another vintage with a white label!!! LOL!

I have two early catalogs that are not dated. I say early because the price of the lure was really low, the one catalog a one once bottle of lure was only $1.50, the other catalog it was $2.50. He did not mention Pro's Choice or Fox lure #3 in either catalog, he only had Fox Lure #1. I would love to know what year these catalogs were.
