Success Stories Using Jake’s Lures

“Congratulations for making the most effective trout lure on the market! I first ran on to your creation at Yellowstone National Park in 1980…After a couple of fishing trips, we began to refer to it as the ‘magic lure’, since fish appeared every time we used it even if they were biting on nothing else.”

Moscow, Idaho

“Ten years ago while working as a seasonal employee for the Yellowstone Park Company, in Old Faithful Wyoming, a friend introduced me to one of your lures. Ever since that summer in Yellowstone, Jake’s Spin-A-Lure has been the only lure my tackle box is kept stocked with.”

Beginning on June 15, every year, your lure parts the water and lands in the mouth of hundreds of hungry, famous Cutthroat of Yellowstone Park. Thank you for a great lure.”

Houston, Texas

“While trout fishing, I met a man from Montana who was fishing using a Stream-A-Lure. He was enjoying good success catching trout and said he always had to go to Wyoming to get those lures. I am sending you a stamped addressed envelope for information on this lure, such as where to buy it and how much they sell for.”

Shawano, Wisconsin

“Enclosed is money to cover the cost and a sample of your Spin-A-Lure package. Please send me as many as the money covers. I have had great luck with your Spin-A-Lure on lake trout and I want to make sure I always have some of your lures in my tackle box.”

I did and had great success. In fact, every time I went fishing with one of your lures, I caught lots of trout. Before heading back to Texas, I bought 20 lures, however, some have been lost on fishing trips and I gave some away to other fishermen. Your product turned my vacation into a highly successful fishing trip. Thank you.”

“Last week I went fishing in Yellowstone Lake. Before going out to fish, I picked up a Spin-A-Lure before going out in the boat. That’s right. Your lure was what the trout were hitting.

Brazil, Indiana

“A year ago I used my first ‘Spin-A-Lure’ and found it to be a super lure. This year I spent 2 months in Cascade, Idaho fishing for big rainbows. The fishing was the best ever and I used nothing but your lures. I sure got a lot of buddies converted.”

“Love your Spin-A-Lure that we call the ‘Golden Domino’, but unfortunately I’ve never found it in any store in my area. Last year, three friends and myself were fishing a high mountain lake. I was doing great but them nothing, so I gave each one of them a ‘Golden Domino’. They each caught a nice trout on their first cast. What a testimonial. Thanks for better fishing.”

West Hills, California

“Years ago, I bought two Spin-A-Lures in Northern Nevada and have had success with them. I lost one in a snag and have been tempted not to use my remaining one for fear of losing it too! I was trout fishing last weekend and had a strike or catch every cast. When my arm was tired of casting, I loaned my lure to a friend while I bottom fished. He was amazed at the success he had with the Spin-A-Lure. Had so much fun with it. It casts so smoothly too.”

“Last June we visited our son in Jackson, Wyoming. He took us fishing at various places and we really had a ball with your gold Spin-A-Lure. Being the Walleye capital of the U.S.A. here where I live, I brought back a half-dozen of your Spin-A-Lure. And let me tell you, no night crawlers, just your lure and I can catch my limit in no time at all. My fishermen friends just can’t believe it.”

Chesterland, Ohio

“I am writing for information on your Spin-A-Lure. I used it several years ago in Yellowstone for trout and then for salt-water fishing in California. I never caught so many fish so fast before or since with any other lure.”

Gerber, California

“Three weeks ago I purchased two of the brass Spin-A-Lure plugs in Yellowstone Park. I fished for trout all through Yellowstone, Glacier Park, back down in Colorado and on home to Lake Livingston, Texas. I caught trout easily with this lure. However, yesterday I caught black bass, white bass, perch and a catfish on this same lure. I looked everywhere I went during the rest of the trip, but never could find this plug again. No one in Livingston handles them.”

Livingston, Texas

“When we were in Yellowstone two years ago, we purchased some of your Spin-A-Lures and had fantastic success with them in the lake on Cutthroat to 18”. Two of us must have caught more than one hundred fish and only fifteen were small enough to keep during our stay there. Now I am in Ontario on the Nipigon River…I was catching Lake Trout and they sure loved the silver one. I think you may be hearing from my friend out here. I took him fishing with me and he only had one hit on his lure so I would hook them and let him play it on my rod. We caught about ten in 2 _ hours. I only saw one other one caught by someone else.”
