Barracuda Lures from Florida Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Co.
Welcome to the Florida Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Company (FFTMC), the home of Barracuda® brand fishing tackle and apparel.
Originally incorporated in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1923, this legendary manufacturer of fishing tackle was operated by the Reynolds Brothers for more than five decades before closing. In November 2009, the Company was re-incorporated in South Florida to recapture the glory of the Barracuda brand principally through the recreation of a line of vintage fishing lures featuring some of the nation's top tackle makers.
FFTMC is working with master lure craftsman around the country to develop special collections for anglers under the Barracuda
label. However, unlike old school tackle makers, the company plans to promote its lure designers. We like the idea that if US lure
designers get recognition, the breadth of handmade lure offerings will grow. And we know great American craftsmanship will entice
anglers into using these traditional baits.
At the same time, we plan to develop new branded lines of fishing tackle and outdoor apparel under the Barracuda label. And to carry some hot new brands from well known US fishing tackle and apparel makers.
Please bookmark the www.barracudalures.com site and look for our new line of lures shortly. In the meantime, you can preview our exciting collection of handmade folk art fishing lures manufactured exclusively for FFTMC by Richard Whitehead, one of the nation's leading fishing lure artisans.
