Brief History on Pflueger Antique lure and the Enterprise Manufacturing Company
Born of German lineage, old fishing lure maker Earnest F. Pflueger should and is considered one of the pioneers of the fishing lure industry. With an array of fishing tackle, and antique lures ranging from the use of crystal, hard rubber, solid metals, Pflueger, and The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. from Akron Ohio would create design and influence the fishing lure and moreover the Fishing Reel industry and our hobby for many generations. I cant think of another old fishing lure and reel maker with the depth and breadth of a fishing lure and fishing reel line up that lasted as long as Pflueger.
Ernest A. Pflueger is president of the Antique Lure Co. Enterprise Manufacturing of Akron, the world's largest factory for the manufacture of fishing tackle and equipment of all kinds. It is an industry illustrating the wonderful possibilities of modern methods of manufacture. Mr. Pflueger, the president of the company, at one time was pursuing the making of novelties as a side line to his regular work. His home industry was the manufacture of rosettes out of tin as ornaments for the harness of horses. later he made artificial baits for fishermen, and while the business from time to time manufactured a number of different novelties, in time the resources of the plant were concentrated upon the making of fishing tackle, rods, flies, minnows and other artificial bait, and particularly hooks, until this has become the largest plant in the world for the manufacture of fish hooks, which are made to the number of several hundred million every year.
Ernest A. Pflueger was born at Erie, Pennsylvania, December 6, 1866, son of Ernest F. Pflueger and Julia (Dunnebeck) Pflueger. His father was born in Germany in 1843, and as an orphan boy came to America with a brother and sister and grew up in Buffalo, New York. He became a molder by trade, and in 1868 established a home at Akron. He worked for the Erie Stove Company, and subsequently was engaged in the retail grocery business until about 1880. He had been of an inventive turn of mind as a boy, and by 1880 had taken out patents on over fifty of his original devices. In 1880 he engaged in manufacturing, establishing the Enterprise Manufacturing Company for the making of fishing tackle and similar lines. Ernest F. Pflueger died at Akron, November 18, 1890, and his wife passed away in 1905.
