An interview with Ray and Sam of Oregon Lure, about the genesis of the company, host Lucas Holmgren's personal favorite (Egg Clusters with bait chamber) and the fisheries that have created a demand for new product. Oregon Lure is a USA company, started from a lack of herring and a need for lures & tackle. From the chambered beads that have potential to become a bait and bead anglers ideal, to chambered 360-lures, plugs & even crabbing equipment, Oregon Lure has built a product line that anglers should inspect...
