Canadian Lure Manufacturers
Helins:
The maker of the famous flatfish lures which came in over 15 sizes from tiny fly rod flatfish to large 'musky' sized T60. The T55 and T60 Flatfish gained legendary status in Australia during the 1960's and 70's when they were attracting trophy figure Murray Cod and large Tassie trout. With literally 90 million sold since the company started there should be at least one in everyones tacklebox. The earliest Helins Flatfish will be timber and have a distinctive metal hanger that was later changer to screw in hangers. All later flatfish are constructed of plastic and will have the model number in raised plastic on the back. The wooden versions will have a black stamp on the back in black while plastic models in between these time periods will have the model stamped on the bib.
