First name that came to mind "Heddon."
I would say Heddon Lure MFG. Co.
Ok....I will give you a hint early.....unlike some of the others we discussed that were started out of Michigan......this one started in Indiana. Will give another hint later.
Bentley lure com or Plano
Well then my guess would be Creek Chub, They made wooden lures and early fly rods as well as started selling flies and other sporting goods for fishing...
No idea :dono...
Maybe South Bend

OK...... You guys that said South Bend are correct.
Around 1895 F.G. Worden invented several wooden lures and started the Worden Bucktail Manufacturing Company in South Bend , Indiana. In 1909 three of his original employees bought the business from him and changed the name to The South Bend Bait Company. Their main line of lures was the Oreno Series...Bass Oreno, Pike Oreno, etc, etc. They became engaged in the manufacture of bamboo fly rods after buying out Cross Rod Company of Massachusetts in 1926. They continued to acquire and buy patents on tackle for the next 30 years. They manufactured all types of reels, bait casting, spinning, and fly. In 1958 South Bend was sold but still operates today as South Bend Sporting Goods Company.
Here is a picture of a couple of South Bend Reels from my collection. The one on the left is a South Bend Anti Back-lash model 1131A...The one on the right is a South Bend Perfectoreno model750Attachment 353106

Thanks G, enjoy the Monday Trivia.
Don't under estimate South Bend, I've got 8 of their 12' Crappie Stalker spinning rods, had them doubled over in half and not break. I got these on special for $16.00 a piece including shipping. I use these with a mix of others for my spider rigging, had them about 4 years now, no complaints. :ThumbsUp
