In about 1947, when I was a young lad, my dad began carving lures cut

from the handles of brooms my mother kept around the house. It first

began as a hobby. Dad was a salesman for a local business machine

company and he began giving these prized, hand-crafted lures to his

customers to set himself apart from other salesmen. What started as a

sales promotion soon grew into an activity that occupied most of his

“spare time.” Soon, tired of buying new brooms, and banished from the

kitchen when mother thought he was looking for another one, dad felt

compelled to move his hobby to the garage and begin purchasing

wood for his lures from a local lumber yard.

In 1949, fishermen, learning of the success others had enjoyed with

dad’s handmade lures, began hounding him to purchase the lures in larger

numbers. It was this demand that made him realize that this lure business

was getting serious. Soon after that realization, he took his first steps to

“mass produce” his lures by purchasing a small wood lathe from Sears,

Roebuck and Company and moved it into his garage shop.

The first lure to be produced with this new “mass production”

equipment was the renowned Devil’s Horse. Since most anglers used

level-wind style reels, dad designed the Devil’s Horse first as a heavier,

slow-sinking lure, one that was easy to cast with these reels. Later, with

the advent of spinning and spin-cast reels, he began to turn-out a lighter,

floating model of this now locally popular and productive lure.

The growth of the Smithwick Lure Company is legendary. From

its humble beginnings in my family’s kitchen in 1947 to its sprawling

manufacturing facilities today, the lures have become the favorites of

generations of anglers. The continued development of new lures, new colors

and the latest in lure finish technology is a tribute to the foresight my father,

Jack K. Smithwick, demonstrated back in 1947. All of us at the Smithwick

Lure Company are proud of the standards he established for quality, value

and performance, all attributes anglers have come to know and expect from

Smithwick Lures for over six decades. This is how he set himself apart.

Set yourself apart—with Smithwick.

angler looking for that “extra” advantage. Now, “extra”

comes in two sizes, 4 1/2” and 5 1/2”. The 5 1/2” Limited
