A family-owned operation, The Gapen Company was founded in 1936 when Don Gapen invented the Original Muddler Fly. They are still going strong to this day with innovations like the Ugly Bug, Bait-Walker, Crappie Vixen, and MANY more. Their unique designs feature hand-made, hand-tied components and precise attention to detail. Made by anglers, for anglers! 

Approximately 30 years ago, Lunker City Fishing pioneered a soft bait revolution with the invention of the Slug-Go. Now, one impressive soft bait after another, Lunker City is swimming its way into tackle boxes everywhere using the highest quality materials, research, and craftsmanship.
