About
Us
Many
customers like to know about the company and people behind the products
they buy. Here we will tell you a little about ourselves and our
company.
The
Bottle Cap Lure was invented by Norm Price in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada.
 Norm
had a specialty tackle and outdoor adventure shop called Call
Of The Wild Tour & Fishing Accessories. He had a local brewing
company come in and trade some beer for a few pack rods. So one
night while Norm and his friend Warren were having a few of these
wobblie pops, Norm bent a beer bottle cap in half and threw it up
on his work table by some hooks. He walked over and sure enough
it looked attached to the hook. So he built one. It wasn't too strong
because he drilled the holes, which weakened the metal. He went
to a specialist and had the proper tool made, which makes it stronger.
The lure has been tested to handle up to 54 lbs before stretching
the split ring which is designed to give first.
Norm
took his lure down to the river. Warren his friend bet him $50 that
he wouldn't catch anything. Know what, first cast Norm landed a
32" Brown Trout. Easiest $50.00 made in my life he said. No
doubt Norm. Well Warren said it was just a fluke, so Norm kept fishing.
Yet again he gets a bite after another 2 casts. This time he pulls
in a 28" Rainbow. Wow 2 nice Trout in mater of 15 min, even
after playing the first one. Norm decided to turn to one of his
best friends Andy
Vander Ploeg (see side bar on left) and asked him to field test
it.
Andy
has been learning to master this lure in the last three years. The
last 2 years he has won the Canadian Sport Fishing Championships.
Way to go Andy! Andy says this product is awesome, Pike and
Walleye just eat them up. I have even used them on big Bull Trout.
Make sure you always have a spare or 2 . I like to carry a couple
six packs he comments.
Norm
has relocated his business out in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.
Norm has been hammering Bass, Walleye, and Brook Trout on this Lure.
As Matter of fact his landlord of the building he was renting, over
heard him telling the story about win-ning the $50.00 bet. So he
says to Norm, I will give you $50.00 to if you can go catch a fish
here on this river. Norm looked stunned ….. he said.. "really??"
.. His landlord said "yeah really". Norm runs across the
street to the store. Comes out with his rod and some bottle cap
lures and says see no bait just raw bottle cap lures. He ran down
to the river and came back in 20 min with a nice pan size Brook
Trout . There was 6 people present that were floored.

Our
Product
The
Bottle Cap Lure is a very easy lure to use. It moves through the
water like a minnow or a fingerling. It has 3 bearings inside that
make it rattle. We all know vibration will trigger a fish to strike.
We also have The Original Bottle Bottle Cap Lure Goop that
you can use to scent the lure. Just apply it inside with the bearings.
You can cast it out and use both a quick or slow retrieval. The
Bottle Cap Lure is also a great flipping lure for the monster Bass
and Pike. If you are fishing Walleye I would suggest using a bottom
bouncer and get it down deep. Run the lure about 3-4 feet back.
You can also skip it along the top of the water to trigger a top
water strike. It is also a great lure for jigging when ice-fishing.
