Item Details
Description
Gifted from the South Bend Bait Co. to Jones, his name appearing on the side of the tack-eye Better Bass-Oreno. Each side of the metal base includes "Fish and Feel Fit" in raised letters, measuring 4 1/2" x 1 5/8", with general wear. Appearing on page 20 of "The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones", an important artifact from the lauded outdoor writer.

From the Sheridan Jones Collection.

Referred to as "America's pioneering outdoor writer", Sheridan Jones (1881-1958) was certainly one of the most respected and prolific angling writers of his era. Many of the lures offered in this auction, where noted, were personally owned by Jones. Several were given to the esteemed author and outdoor writer for his professional opinion, others as gifts by lure makers vying for his favor. Stated best by author Joseph Hilko in his 2010 book
The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones: "Jones' legacy as an educator, naturalist, professional writer and world-class angler is worthy of remembrance today".
