Manufactured lures in the mid 1940's and continued into the 1970's. They produced quite a few models, such as, the:
Clipper, Surf Slapper, Cape Codder, Rhode Island Special, and Pugnose. The older glass eyed baits from the 1940's
& 50's are another of my favorites. They also made a full line of metal lures [ tin squids ], doodlebugs [ bucktail
jigs ], etc. At this time, I do not know if the company was ever sold. But, I do know their address changed a few times
over the years. The last known address I have is: *******
1003 Main St. East Greenwich, R.I *********
In
the later years, they made freshwater and saltwater baits, [ spoons, jigs, and plugs ], and also expanded their product line
to include jewelry. The plugs were made smaller, with decal eyes, and with new names. Such as, the: Cutlass, Flapper,
Pop-Along, Dart-Along, Swim-Along, Pop-Dinger, Bass-Akward, [ Jointed ] Swim-Along, and Wing-Ding. "Point Jude Bait Co.", was one of the largest saltwater lure companies
of the time, and one of the longest lasting.
