Throughout most of the history of fishing lures, youll find that creating fishing lures was mostly an individual pastime. Many fishermen enjoyed making their own lures, trying to come up with new and innovative creations that would be more effective in catching fish. It wasnt until about the mid-19th century that creating fishing lures became a commercial venture. We are pleased to offer this Folk Art Handmade Paint Decorated Wooden Lobster Fishing Lure from New England circa late 1800s or early 1900s for your consideration.
