     AL&W is known as becoming the northern sister company to Creek Chub Bait Company.  AL&W carried a full line of CCBCO baits, but only a small line of them were actually produced in Canada.  From the Toronto facility, AL&W produced Pikies, Husky Pikies, Baby Pikies, Midget Pikies and Spinning Pikies.  It becomes easier for a collector to distinguish a Canadian lure from an American lure by the distinctive lips, hardware and paint schemes used.  AL&W also produced a few variations of lures that make them truly Canadian.

     Many of the AL&W pikies are stamped on the lip with A.L.&W.  It is thought that these lures were probably produced after 1950.  In 1954, AL&W introduced a Canadian line of pikies that were produced from tenite.  In the same year, AL&W promoted a truly unique double-jointed lure in tenite with surface rigging often called the "triple-jointed" lure.

     AL&W also produced fishing tackle that strayed from the Creek Chub brand.  It is said that they produced over 100 different varieties of plastic, metal and wooden baits.  Included in this line of new Canadian tackle is the Muskie-Sal, AL&W Stripe, Lazy Loon and the truly exceptional single spring hook lure.
