A man and his family came up with a unusual bait idea and started hand making them at home in the early 30's
He finally got a patent on it and opened up a factory employing several dozen workers. Several years later he sold his business. What was this mans name ? And what was the name of this lure.
I will give a hint later today and will give the answer tonight.

Now lets all wait till noon before doing a google search. Lets see what members remember on their own. It'll be more fun this way by giving the non-googlers a chance to search their memory banks.

Hopefully we get that hint before noon cause this one looks like a tough one!

These lures were unusual due to the material they were made of....as far as I know these were the only ones of this type made with different material.

Another hint.....this man was famous for being a fine toy maker

Hmmm. I'm thinking Rapala. Were they the first to use balsa?
