Rapala
Rapala began with a hungry Finnish guy and a carving knife. Lauri Rapala spent many hours rowing the waters of Lake Paijanne watching the minnows. He observed that predator fish would dart into a school of minnows and attack the one swimming with a slightly off-center wobble. Lauri reasoned that if a lure could be designed to mimic the actions of a wounded minnow, he could catch more fish. He was right. His first successful minnow lure was completed from pine bark in 1936. This lure was the father of the legendary Original Floating ® Rapala and many others used to this day.

Mustad
In 1832, a steel mill was built in Gjovik, Norway. This steel mill became the birthplace of the first factory-made fishhook. The Mustad fishhook is named after the man who invented this factory-produced fishhook. He took his hooks around the world to sell them to various tribes and nations. To this day, the word used by the Yanomami tribe of South America for fishhook is “Mustad.” The Mustad fishhook has become the best-selling hook on the planet.
