1 A Little About Manistee Bait Company When it came time to come up with a name to put on my lures and boxes it didn t take long for me to come up with Manistee Bait Company. Having grown up in Manistee I had the usual fondness for my home town, returning there as often as possible to visit family and friends and of course to fish. Everything I ve learned about fishing was gained by exploring the many fishing opportunities there and by fishing the seasonal runs of trout and salmon that Manistee enjoys. I found that all my fishing aspirations were based on fishing Manistee for comfort comes with familiarity. In the mid 70s I was in my teens growing up in Stronach township on Manistee Lake where the Little Manistee River empties into the lake. The fall Chinook salmon runs were incredible, and this led to me developing a condition we called Salmon Fever the symptoms were; obsession with fishing, skipping school, wet clothes, strange odors, and the constant need for more heavy-fishing line. People use to come from all over the united states to fish for salmon and the lake would be literally packed with boats. The slab filled lake took its toll on fisherman s tackle and I used to walk along the shoreline and fill my pockets with lures (mostly flatfish ) that had worked themselves free of the logs they were snagged on and floated to shore. I now live in Coopersville, Michigan with my wife Lisa, 6 year old son Eric and 1-1/2 year old daughter Emma. The salmon runs had declined while I was away so when I would return to fish I d spend most of my time trolling for steelhead. Some local old timers told me they used to really do well with SPU and SPS flatfish which are now out of production. My search for these lures produced only one of each and the realization that if I wanted any I would have to make them myself, basically that s how I started carving lures. Fortunately someone introduced me to EBAY where I could get the opportunity to buy some of these hard to find flatfish, as well as sell some of my own handmade lures. Foggy Morning on South Manistique Lake Manistee Bait Company Collector s Handbook - Crank Bait Section

2 About This Catalog This is the fifth edition of the Manistee Bait Company collector s handbook. This catalog features most of the lures I ve made and sold on Ebay ( ) plus some of the lures I ve sold directly. These lures are not available to order and in fact have already been sold on Ebay. I usually only make one of each lure (except for frogs, mice and crawdads) and move on to my next idea. All of Manistee Bait Company items are produced in extremely low quantity as an example I believe only one copy of the first and second edition of this handbook actually made it to a collector s hands. I primarily keep this scrapbook style catalog for myself so I can reference the previous paint jobs and lure styles I ve made. The following graphic explains what the headings above the lures mean. Name (or type) of lure also may indicate lure is a replica Production number unique to each type of lure Extra information such as Internal/External weight or Surface/Underwater Lure Color Cast Away Crab #012 - External Weight (Dark Brown Sparkle) This is the first lure to get belly flutes to go along with it s back flutes. the fine lure has home made The year lure was created Previous Editions of This Catalog 2 Manistee Bait Company Collector s Handbook - Crank Bait Section
