Creek Chub Bait Company was founded in 1916 by Henry Dills, Carl Heinzerling, and George Schulthess in Garrett, Indiana. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality wooden lures that were both beautiful and effective. Their innovative designs, including the famous Pikie Minnow and the Injured Minnow, revolutionized the fishing industry and became staples in tackle boxes across the nation.
Throughout the early to mid-20th century, Creek Chub lures were renowned for their lifelike appearance and action in the water. The company's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation made their products highly sought after by anglers and collectors alike.
Despite its long-standing success, changing materials and manufacturing processes in the fishing industry led to challenges for Creek Chub in the latter half of the 20th century. The company changed hands several times before ceasing production in the 1980s, marking the end of an era in American fishing history.
This t-shirt is perfect for fishing enthusiasts, collectors of vintage outdoor gear, Indiana natives, or anyone who appreciates the rich heritage of American craftsmanship. It's more than just apparel – it's a wearable piece of angling history that's sure to spark conversations about favorite lures, big catches, and the timeless art of fishing.
