What luremaker/company/family holds the title as the longest running original brand right now still cooking in house?

I'm talking still making their own recipes (or directly overseeing production) and is halfway "in the family". I know you can order EJ Dailey or Hawbaker stuff, but obviously it's a passed down or bought recipe not in the same family or company.

I respect the guys who learned side by side before taking the reigns, and many do a great job keeping the quality standard up, but I'd like to know what brand is currently the Old Guard.

The 1980's was 40+ yrs ago, fur crash had to thin a lot out. How many are still trucking since then with original "bloodlines" ?

I would have to say it might be O’Gorman, but I don’t know how much of his lures are original or formulas he bought or acquired.

One who has been making lure with original formulas for well over 40 years is Jeff Robinson of JR & Sons.

… I don’t know…. Mark June always seems like he’s hopped up on something…. I’d say he’d be the longest running lure maker …. Likely go all Forrest Gump with it if got the mind to

Savell have you seen him lately?
He’s been on a diet and he’s half the man he used to be.
We are going to half the start calling him “Skinny Bossman”
