"Cool Lures", What Happened?

I was searching through past posts and I happened upon,

"Cool Lures are made right here in central IL. We may be a small
company but we are here to stay."


Not being a smart@$$ buy asking (being as he said they were here to
stay), but what happened to them, anyone know?

FWIW, the thread was about fishing tackle being made in the US and
Chinese competition was mentioned and I am wondering if that had
anything to do with it.

Well I can tell you from personal experience. manufacturing and selling
fishing baits/ tackle is not an easy thing to do. Many don't make it, some
do. The soft plastic business can be brutal with all the baits that are out
there. Time and money invested may not be recouped for years, some can hang
in there and some just simply don't see it as worth their time after a
while. Not sure what happened to cool lures. Steve H might know more.

I have no idea what happened to him. I liked his lures and went to buy some
and didn't get a response back when I placed the order.

They're not in the Illinois Secy of State Corp. database so they were never
registered as a Corp in Illinois.
