| These are some incomplete or unusual models of the Catch-all. I call them my "freaks". They are probably factory blanks that someone attempted to put together themselves. Supposedly there were quite a number of these left over when the factory closed. | |
| Here is a very unusual freak. It actually has GLASS eyes, wired in, on top of the lure. Personally, I think it's cute. | |
| This is the Catch-all paperwork that comes with the lure. I snapped a shot of both the front view and back view. Notice the Catch-all display box pictured in the paperwork. I have been looking for this item for quite some time. So, if you ever see one...I would love to get a lead from you! :-) | |
| This building was at one time the Catch-all sales office in Milwaukee. The street name has been changed to Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd. and apparently the place is in a shabby looking neighborhood now. Jay Staus kindly snapped these photos for me to add to my website. (Picture 1) (Picture 2) (Picture 3) Thanks Jay! | |
| I took a trip to Hiles and saw the old schoolhouse (Picture 1) (Picture 2) (Picture 3) where the Catch-all lures were made. Apparently it had been remodeled into a church. I guess collecting Catch-all's is the next best thing to actually being in heaven! ;-) While I was there, I stopped by the Pine lake cafe to have a bite to eat. Mmmm...Paul, the owner, makes some good burgers! | |
| I just happen to own The Grand Puba of Catch-all's. He's the largest known of his kind in the world! Of course, I had to make a custom order to get such a beast in my collection! Thanks to Terry Smith for going out on a limb for me. :-) | |
