Horrocks Nature Lure
Question
Hi Marc,
I recently discovered my grandfather's old tackle box in his barn and found a lure in there I was hoping you might know more about.
The lure is a Minnow No. 19ss. It is made by Horrocks Nature Lure. Do you know anything about them? Are this the same Horrocks of Horrocks-Ibbota?
The fact that I can't find anything about it on Google or Ebay makes me think this might have been a local company back in the day that is no longer around or remembered.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!!
Answer
Hi Eric,
Unfortunately, I cannot find a thing about this lure. Yes, it's Horrocks and Ibbotson. They mass produced a lot of tackle, but I have no record of that lure.
I'd run this past Joe Douglas on this site. He may have some information. This could be a rare one!
Good luck,
Marc
