| | Bob Rickard Story - Secret Weapon Lures History |
 | | Over a span of thirty-five years, Rickard handcrafted a number of innovative baits, testing and perfecting them on the lakes and rivers of Americas heartland. |
 | | Rickard preferred using in-line spinners for their ability to attract more species of fish, but he acknowledged the superiority of the safety-pin style for fishing around brush, lay-downs, and vegetation. |
 | | Several heart attacks and failing health curtailed his own level of activity, so today Rickards chief delight is to see his lures earning the confidence of anglers everywhere, and in passing on his experience, insights, fishing lore to others so they can achieve success with his inventions. |
