Norwich Florida Corp Shrimp Lures
Norwich Florida Corporation - St. Augustine, FL
The Norwich Florida Corp shrimp
is an interesting lure. It is hard plastic with a hinge in the middle to give it
movement in the water. The box insert tells the fisherman to adjust the action
of the shrimp by moving the location of the line tie. The shrimp came in an
amber and a clear plastic. The same shrimp design was later made by Ben Smith
after he bought the rights to the lure in 1950. The Norwich lures are considered
to be made by one of the great
North Florida Lure Makers.
