German Lure Manufacturers
D.A.M (West Germany):
D.A.M was a company that produced high quality lures and fishing apparel from Germany before unification.
The D.A.M company made very high quality lures many of them copies of other major USA conpanies of the time. Their workmanship and engineering was of the highest quality showing why their lures last to this day. Many of the early boxes are collectable and just as valuable as the lures themselves in many cases. Their catalogue was vast.
