The Transparent Fishing Tackle Company - The Lurette

Toronto, Ontario

There is very little known about this company at this time other than a working partnership with Canadian Needle and Fishing Tackle. The Transparent Fishing Tackle product line includes 2 of the lures shown below which are hollow glass tubes that were designed to hold live bait. These rare and highly desirable lures came in green boxes with black lettering and associated paperwork and were called Lurettes.
