Bill Norman created Wood Lures Co.
Norman brought his boyhood love of fishing into his adult life when, after serving in the military and some early work years, [#ff4040]he took his fishing interest into a business venture with Wood Lures[/#ff4040], a Conway, AR, firm. He eventually created Norman Lures which is still selling some of the best lures available today.
http://www.normanlures.com/
Several of today's top bass lures were created by him, including the Little N, the DD22 crankbait and the N-Ticer lipless crankbait. He was inducted into the Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2007.
If you have some of the Wood Lure Co bass lures from his original company in Arkansas they are considered "Antique" and probably worth more to you as a collector than to use fishing.

How many you got?? Its very hard to find lures from this legend today. If you have a lot lets talk. I am very interested in purchasing them from you. I will evaluate the ones you have and give you top dollar for them. If I can't afford the ones you have I can find investors that will help me.
The ones he made back before wood lures are out there too with the wood lure signature (not physically on the lure but we know if it's his).
He actually hand made some of the balsa wood shad divers by hand before he started wood lures.
I have contacted some of his family now about this because some of his early lures have dissappeared from circulation.
You might have a nugget of gold there.
Let's continue this conversation in private messages. I've sent you one and please reply.
If you have some authentic wood lure products I am dying to see them and hope you will provide me with photos so I can submit them to the Arkansas bass resource site.
Thanks for any correspondence from you.
Mike.

you have the doodles ...
in the package.
[inline $(KGrHqRHJFcE918FI6oIBPkvK(I4m!~~60_12.JPG]
The founder of NORTAN lures made those with his first wood lures company in Arkansas...
you can get so much more.
dont sell those lures for 80$.
I am really trying to help you out.
Hold on to them and find a collector.
you can get 100$ per lure for those.
IN THE PACKAGE STILL.......
Dude you are about to lose money. Just be patient and someone will buy those for a lot more.
I don't want them because I have two of his balsa wood shad lures when that company first started and invested alot into those two.
but man.
You don't see those and never will again. In the dam package?
Don't get to hasty. You really could get 100$ each for those.
No one else has those in the package like that. You have something very rare.
relax take your time.
stay in touch with me in private messages and I'll find you a buyer. I might even go a head and give you 50$ each for them next week.
You got a prize there. No gold nugget like the balsa wood shad (that everyone is looking for) but a good prize.
btw, where the hell did you get those?

You did good. You don't have a huge gold nugget but you got a good one and I have trying to keep you from getting ripped off.
this man is a legend in our state and you don't see those lures IN THE PACKAGE.
just close that action and hold on to them.
I'll help you find a buyer that appreciates what you have and will pay what they are worth.

you want my advice?
if your kids fish just keep them...
hand them down because they are only going to go up in value and you don't have to invest more that 50 bucks.
each of those are worth way over 100$ ...
in 20 years they will be worth 1000$
in 40 years worth 100,000$ because they don't exist and were created by a legend of bass fishing.
Just keep those and hand them down to your kids.
That's my advice. It's what I would do.
Mike out.

tell your kids the story of norton and how he pioneered bass fishing lures and bass fishing pro contests..
keep the lures and in 50 years those lures are worth more than anything you can get for them today.
Just my advice... take it or leave it.
If you still want to sell them. I don't want to rip you off so I will give you 100$ for each.
we here at BFT have respect and integrity for fishermen and the sport.
They are worth much more than that bro if you keep them and hand them down.
just let me know.
