Shakespeare Antique Fishing Lure and Reel Factory Tour

William Shakespeare Antique Fishing Lure Co. 1897-Current

Looking directly inside the William Shakespeare Fishing Lure and Tackle Company we get to take a step back in time. It is not often we get to see such candid snapshots from everything from the old fishing lure inspection room to the front office, to the drafting department. I think two of my favorite shots are of the Shakespeare Tackle Company are sponsored baseball team at the bottom.
