ROCKER trolling spoons

[PEETZcanada]

Does anyone have any history on the ROCKER trolling spoons? They are definitely vintage lures and were made at some point in BC, both on the Island and Mainland. Just trying to find some origin history, maybe the inventor or company that produced it. Also any Patent details, which would be now long expired.

I haven't found any details in my reference books, so reaching out to some of the vintage tackle gurus that may still be lurking around here and there.

Thanks in advance for any details or good stories etc.

Ps. Also searching for any Details regarding a BC fishing lure company called Allied Fishing Tackle which was manufactured by Allied Metalcraft Ltd. in Vancouver, British Columbia. The only publication I have is a catalog and a price list dated 1953.

I am searching for any and all history surrounding this one.

Thanks.

Update on the "ROCKER" spoon. It shows up published in one of my reference manuals with zero historical data surrounding it. No inventor or producer information, no date time-line or region of manufacture.

Just as pictured from the book.

Does anyone have anything on it?

The two ROCKER spoons pictured earlier, one was from a friend and one is from a old new box of 12 brass spoons that I found in a lot of ALLIED FISHING TACKLE salesman sample boxes and bulk blades etc. Hence my query about that company.

As it rolls out, I have emptied all my storage locations and part of that is my PALCO tools, dies and equipment. I found part of the ROCKER shaping die. Missing half but that's easy enough to fix. The most expensive part is forming die, the one that cuts the shape.

I am still going through it all. I had to add in another tool rack to keep it all organized.

Well for sure PALCO made some but I am being thrown off by the ALLIED salesman sample cases having the ROCKERS in their display samples.

Oh well, I keep searching.
