Pflueger Fishing Tackle

Ernest Pflueger patented lure paint in 1883, and later incorporated E.A. Pflueger Company, which made lures, rods, and reels. The company produced many successful lure models, such as the Monarch and the Globe. But unable to compete with the larger Heddon, Pflueger soon moved into reel manufacturing, releasing their successful Baitcasting Reel in 1916. Pflueger lures were all but discontinued in the 1930s, so they're relatively rare today. The company was sold to Shakespeare in 1966.
