Russian Hooks®

At the turn of the century a great number of Russian immigrants settled into Saginaw Bay area of Michigan. They became well known for their success in farming. These immigrants brought with them a knowledge of fishing through the ice - learned during their rigorous winters spent in Russia.
Their favorite lure was a spoon that they cut out of a tin can, bent to the shape desired, and soldered a hook to. For bait they used fish eyes or a small piece of worm attached to the hook. They would jig this spoon up and down rapidly for a short time , stop and let it sit, and then repeat until they had a strike. Saginaw Bay then, as now, had a abundance of perch, walleye, and bass. More often then not they would catch all they wanted in a very short time. Each lure is hand made and air brushed painted.
