“Am enclosing a picture of a 37-pound muskellunge I caught last 
September on one of your Musky Oriental Wigglers. 
“I caught it near Potkins Island, in the French River, Canada. 
‘‘.If I live to be a hundred years old I don’t suppose I’ll ever have again the thrill 
I experienced when this 37 pounds of fightin’ Musky hit old Oriental and started off 
for the next county ! 
“I have been a bait caster for the past ten years and have tried most all sorts of 
lures, but for the past four years I have been using your Foss Pork Rind Minnows 
exclusively. I have come to realize that if the fish fail to rise to these wonderful lures 
shimmy wiGGLER. >/ 2 or 5 / s oz., $1.00 j g a was t e 0 f time to try to fool them with any others.”

Brother Angler, let me extend you a word 
of friendly caution. Any successful lure is 
bound to be imitated. 
Foss Pork Rind Minnows are no exception 
to the rule. It looks a simple tiling to dup¬ 
licate a fish lure, but like imitations of other 
things, there’s lots more to it than you’d 
think. 
Near-beer has the color, and it looks, 
smells and tastes (something) like the real 
old pre-Volstead foaming amber. But—what 
a difference! Raw boot-leg moonshine seems 
from afar very like the “honest-to-Gosh” 
stuff. (Sometimes it even wears one of the 
friendly looking old-time labels!) But—Oh, 
you m&rning after! 
The “action” of a pork rind lure is the 
result of a delicate combination of weight, 
shape, balance fore-and-aft, placing of spin¬ 
ner and method of attaching pork rind— 
also the shape, thickness, weight and taper¬ 
ing of the pork strip itself. To duplicate 
a Foss Minnows action, which depends on 
all these, would mean to exactly reproduce 
the lure in every particular. This is pro¬ 
hibited by patents. So it is impossible to 
duplicate the fish-get-ability of these lures.
