It's a sad state of events in this country when a busnines like this closes its doors, to places where some of their products will never be used. Northland tackle produced some of the best ice fishing lures for decades. It's the same with lindy being gobbled up by a bigger company only to produce products that were never made with the same quality as the original. It's a sad situation

Lunk, this is just like Bass Pro Shops buying Cabelas. It sucks and the products will never be the same again.

Your right, Cabelas isn't even close to what it use to be. Totally sucks. . .

So sad a man was able to sell his business and retire? For fucks sakes get off the soap box.

End of an era. Maybe if they do go Temu quality it’ll leave a hole in the market for someone new to step in.

That's kind of the reason I started the other thread on discontinued lures, the biggest reason quality has hit the crapper is because everything is made overseas so the quality us older gents remember is gone. Granted with quality the price is a factor but I still will pay for quality products that I know will last longer even over many seasons where these products will sit. Oh well just thought I would share with the community.

That’s not the sad part. No soap box it’s just a fact quality isn’t as good when sold out to big corps.
