I'm a fisherman (duh). Many lures are now made in foreign countries. I'm not sure there are any crankbaits manufactured here. Three of my staple lures are still largely manufactured or assembled here. Eppinger makes Dardevle spoons which are still made in Michigan. They sell over 2 million lures per year worldwide. Mepps spinners are hand assembled and distributed from Wisconsin. Some of the components are made here as well. I consider Mepps the greatest lure ever invented. I can't remember the last fishing trip I took whereI didn't catch a fish, largely due to Mepps spinners. Another lure I reaaly like is Bobby Garland jigs, made in the USA. Just about the best Crappie jig on the market. If you went fishing with a variety of those three lures you will catch all the fish you want (with a little advice from me free for the asking) AND you'll be supporting Americans in the process.
FISH WITH AMERICAN MADE AND HAND ASSEMBLED LURES!

You can learn a lot about fishing from these websites.

I love Bagley's

That's all well and good but Bagley's are very likely made in China. Their website doesn't say anything about made in USA. Sad. Rebel lures are made in China. I mean Rebel lures for God's sake. Pathetic.

Well Bob down here in SWMO we dn't use lures
we gig them suckers.

Get you a little 14 ftlake flat with a 7 hp to cruise
right up them little creeks. Build you a propane light
anda platfom behnd it, and your ready to kill
some fish.

Anyways thats how we do it.
