Mepps Aglia?
What was the mans name who's father founded a bait company in 1929 ? this man founded his own bait company in 1934 and then in the late 1940's developed a weighted spinner that became and still is the number one selling in-line spinner, and about this time he joined with his fathers bait company. Also....what was the name of this spinner ?
I might give a hint later on today. I will give the answers and some more about the story tonight.

Mepps also had magazine ad's were if you send them so many squirrel tails they would mail you lures in exchange for them years ago.
Sounds good to me!
A French engineer by the name of Andre Meulnart invented the Mepps spinner in 1938.
Hint...notice I said a weighted spinner....
another hint... this famous bait has a willow leaf blade and a hackle tail
