Earl Robinson was one of Florida's early lure makers. He was living in Apopka, Florida when he started making fishing lures in the mid 1920's. The lures shown here are from the 1940's and 1950's when Robinson was living in Orlando, Florida. During this period he made only two lures, both of which are shown below. The influence of Jim Pfeffer can clearly be seen in this later work.
