Dick Yeck was a talented tool and die maker by trade and a enthusiastic inventor of fishing lures by night, creating steel "spoons" with a hammer and putting them to the test.  In the 1960's, this passion officially became the Yeck Lure Comany, producing great lures for avid anglers who recognize the difference.
