A storied name in the fishing tackle business is Pflueger Lures. Master tool maker and fishing lover Ernest F. Pflueger established the business in Akron, Ohio, in 1881.
Pflueger initially produced sinkers and hooks for fishing, but he soon added fishing reels and lures to his line of goods. His lures were renowned for their excellent build, lifelike shapes, and efficiency in luring game fish like bass and pike.
Pflueger Lures introduced new lures including the Surprise, the May Bug, and the Wizard as it grew its product line and innovated throughout time. These lures were renowned for their distinctive styles and cutting-edge components, such as the whirling spinner blade on the Wizard and the metal tail on the Surprise.
Moreover, Pflueger Lures made a substantial contribution to the growth of fishing as a sport. Early in the century, the business supported a number of fishing competitions and exhibitions that promoted the activity and showcased the potency of Pflueger lures.
Pflueger Lures is now acknowledged as a legendary and iconic name in the fishing tackle sector. The company’s tradition of invention and quality continues to inspire the next generation of fishing tackle producers, and its lures are highly prized by collectors and anglers alike. The ownership of the company has changed numerous times throughout the years, but its dedication to quality and innovation has never wavered.
