As business grew in the 1930s during the Great Depression, Fred Arbogast, who was a tournament casting champion and lure inventor worked with his father, John A. Arbogast, to create one of the most unique spinning lures of all time, the Hawaiian Wiggler. Fred started tinkering with using rubber in his own fishing lure creations as early as 1916 and in the next twenty years, he and his father developed the infamous Hula Skirt which was a rubber attachment for this new brand of fishing lure. Fred Arbogast and John were no ordinary inventors, but knew to be successful in fishing, they had to develop different products for different needs. As the product line was a sure hit, it became popular among American fishermen in the 1930s and remained in the company's inventory until 1997. This book covers the history of the Hawaiian Wiggler product line and includes collector's materials on models, sizes, colors, packaging, boxes, and paperwork from 1936-1997. It also covers the lesser known metal brand lures made distinctly by the Fred Arbogast Company, Fred Arbogast Company, Incorporated, Prescott Spinners, and Fin. This is the second volume of a two-part series on Fred Arbogast metal fishing lure products.
