As many of you know , Mitch Glenn bought Pico Lures. PICO started out in 1933 as the Padre Island Company. This famous old lure company designed and manufactured many famous lures for many other companys one of which was Heddon. They were famous for their Pico Perch the first lipless crankbait which was also known as the Heddon Bayou Boogie. This company was family owned and was later passed down to family members. Some years back they ceased production and sold the name and equipment to a man in Oklahoma who ran it single handed as a novelty business makeing key chains and logo lures for businesses to use for advertising give aways etc.
Mitch is bring this company back from ground level as a fishing tackle manufacturer. The old Pico Perch will be brought back into production in new crappie colors that we all like....this will be a great bait for pushing or pulling. Also in the works are some new lipped crappie crankbaits. And some new crappie jigs are also on the table for production. ScottV and I have been working designing, modifying, and redesigning new crankbait bodies. Plans are to have several different series of crappie crankbaits. When Mitch has not been busy getting the PICO building that has been leased in Garfield AR.....wireing building, running air ducts and vent fans, air lines, warehouse shelving etc. as well as getting old equipment out of mothballs cleaned up and serviced etc......he has been painting prototypes with new color combos and patterns. 5000 lipped crankbait bodies are now in inventory waiting to be painted and hooks put on. Some new Pico Perch bodies are being injection molded at this time also and another new lipped crankbait body has been designed and finalized.
So good things will be coming later this year and early next year from PICO. Stay tuned, I will put some pictures of of what we got going on and give you a preview.
