Florida Artificial Bait Company
St. Augustine , Florida

Dr. Henry Farrin of St. Augustine, Florida began making the Superstrike Shrimp in 1929. The lures were hand crafted and painted in several colors and patterns. They were made in several sizes and weights and all featured black glass eyes. Many of the ones that are found today show evidence of use in salt or brackish water. These beautiful lures sure look like they could catch some fish.

Dr. Farrin's brother in law, George Ettles, applied for a patent on the lure in 1928.
A patent was granted in 1931
