History of Ol’ Bens Baits: Better Than No Bait at All!
Channel: RetroBassin
Date: 2022-02-26

This week we are back at Bacon's Tackle in Shreveport, Louisiana, to sit down with third-generation owner Michael Bacon and talk Smithwick Lures, H&H Lures, Cotton Cordell, and his father's lure brand Ol' Bens. We really hope you enjoy this extended episode of Retro Bassin'...we thought it best to let Michael tell his story in his own words. Louisiana has a deep history of bass fishing and lure making, and we were excited to see that Michael Bacon is continuing his family's tradition of lure building with his Bacon's Bullfrog Bait Company, a line of handmade, genuine frog skin lures. If you are ever in the Shreveport area, Bacon's Tackle is definitely worth the visit for OG lure hunters. Whether you are looking for old school gold, custom lures, or the largest selection of Rat-L-Trap lures we've ever seen, Bacon's is no doubt one of the coolest fishing tackle shops we've ever set foot inside! Ol' Bens Baits are better...than no bait at all!
