As the popularity of the original designs of Thomas Spinning Lures continues to grow
so does the demand for new colors and finishes. We’ve added smarter eyes, dramatic,
vibrant colors and even reflective flecks to some of our already popular selections.
Keeping up with the changes fisherman require takes a lot of work on our
part, but when we get the cards and letters from fishermen all over the world telling
how Thomas Lures out-fish most of everything they’ve used before, it makes us
work even harder.
Yes, we’re still a privately-owned small company with a handful of dedicated
employees who are still providing American made, quality fishing lures at
reasonable prices. Our operation is still in the same town and same buildings
where the company started more than 60 years ago.
Send us your photo of fish caught with a Thomas lure and we may use it
on our next brochure. Contact us with questions or comments, and thank you
for using Thomas Lures.
Sincerely,
Peter R. Ridd, President

“If you don’t catch them on Thomas,
they aren’t biting.” B.L.G. Forsyth, MO.
“...the best damn lures I have ever used.”
B.R. Lake Havasu City, AZ
“I’ve had such good luck fishing these
lures for over 30 years. They are simply
the best.” T.P. West Sufield, CT
“I have been fishing with your lures for over 25
years and would like to thank you for your no-nonsense,
just fish-catching lures.” D.K. Redmond, WA.
In the earliest days of
America, rods, reels and
assorted paraphernalia
were imported from
Europe as indicated in
the letter of August
1737 when William Penn’s
daughter Margaret Penn
Freame wrote to her
brother in London, “…my
chief Amusement this
summer has been Fishing.
I therefore request
the favor of you when a
Leisure Hour will admit,
you will buy for me a Rod
and Reel with strong good
Lines and assortment of
hooks the best sort…”
While some very early
Thomas Lures were
fashioned after successful
European designs, all
Thomas Lures have always
been manufactured in the
United States.
We are proud of our
traditions, and we are
sure that you will not find
a better crafted fishing
lure manufactured abroad
or in America.

“We traveled deep into several lakes in Quebec, far from stores, traffic and telephones. Everyone thought
they were well-stocked in the lure department. After several days of fishing, very few fish to show for
our efforts, and limited time left. I decided to do some experimenting with the many lures in my tackle
boxes. The first lure out for use was your E.P. Spinn lure. I tied it on and cast it out to a likely looking spot.
WHAM!!!
First cast and I tied into the biggest trout of the trip! After the next cast I knew the first wasn’t
a freak because I caught another beautiful trout. Unbelievable! My friends were going crazy ....luckily I
brought plenty of leaders or I may have been drowned on the spot. We all caught many fish those last two
days thanks to your fantastic lure. You certainly saved our trip and helped make some lasting memories to
boot. ...A loyal fan forever!” G.E.J. New Bloomfield, PA
