Any Grawe's fans out there?
Back in the 70's and 80's when competition was really stiff they were extremely popular; nearly every dealer carried them. Over the last couple of decades they seem to be around less and less. I always thought they were excellent myself. Now I wonder with his passing if the lure line will continue on.

I talked to him on the phone a few times before he passed. Gary Jepson was somehow involved after he passed but Gary has recently passed.

Yep, Grey Ghost seemed to really get their attention, just vary the amount with the weather. Couple of others I really liked too.

Are you referring to his "plead ignorance & apologize, then move on" method?

Grawe's lures are currently being produced by Jack Hill who lives in northern WI. When Art passed, Gary worked with Art's wife and Jack became the producer of Art's lures, plus his own. Jack makes the lures in bulk and Art's wife still does all the bottling, labeling and distribution.
