We just found this post as we were putting together the Obituary for our beloved father/grandfather Roy E. Carter, who passed away just this morning. We were pleased to find your thread on this subject.
Roy was the original inventor of the famous Carter Spoons, Frogs and Strawberry Wobblers. He started the company Rocky Mountain Lures and sold to all the bait & tackle shops, marina's and outdoor stores for over 30 years.
Unfortunately, due to the digression of his health, the lures have not been available for about 10 years, thus the posts asking around for them. We wish they were still available, but each unit was made by hand and the design was very intricate. Roy spent hours, days, and years prefecting the balance, spin, shape, and design of his craft, and because of this, his lures have been the talk of fisherman in the surrounding area for many decades.
At the bottom of this thread is the contact info for someone who claims to be Rocky Mountain Lures. His name is Ray Snow, and he says that he sells Strawberry Wobblers, listing his phone number as 801-756-2078. We are fine with people making wobblers and lures, but we are upset that this individual claims that he is the real, original Rocky Mountain Lures, when indeed, he is not. We would hope that he would discontinue the practice of representing something that he is not.
While we do have a small quantity of our lures still in our possession, you can imagine how sentimental they are to us. We obviously cannot use all of them, but keeping as many as we can in the family is our goal. The time may come when we have a small quantity available for sale, but we need to figure out where they are all going to go. If you are interested, please send an email us at: RockyMountainLures@gmail.com
Thanks for your interest, and thanks for loving fishing as much as we do and our father did.
