Gaustad lures and an ORCA connection

Post by Mike N »

One of the first members of ORCA, Dave Gaustad of California, posted this thread on Joe’s about lures his father made in Wisconsin over 75 years ago. Pretty cool...

How cool is that! I'd bet that our dads are the reason most of us started collecting tackle.

Just preserving this because it will roll off of Joe's Message Board in a couple of days:

These lures were made in Baraboo Wisconsin in the 1940s By the Gaustad Bait Company.

My father!

Thanks to some of you collectors for getting them back home!

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?
