There lies a lot of uncertainty as to South Bends role in the lure industry and how it was formed early on. There have been documents recently found showing relations between other old antique lure makers. Showing the outsourcing or jobbing of painting of lures, using certain paint patterns and even using similar if not the same hardware early in the South Bend Lure company life.
