Ron Landry's Collections
Ron Landry started collecting lures while still in high school. There was a local sporting goods store that had hundreds of different brands of lures hanging on the walls behind the counter. Ron initially collected the Heddon's and Creek Chubs, but in time, switched over to collecting Bagley's because the squarebill crankbaits he loved so much had started being made around the time he was born.
After finding a few super tough Bagley's locally, Ron really got hooked on the brand, and decided to focus on them almost exclusively. He began selling his Heddon's, Creek Chubs, and other brands to have more money to buy hard to find Bagley lures. His passion nowadays are all brass Bagley's with square diving bills. There is an abundance of shallow water in Louisiana where Ron is from, which is the perfect depth of water to catch big fish with Bagley's squarebill lures. An old axiom amoung lure collectors is "we tend to collect what we fished".
5" Bang-O-Lures
You can count on three fingers the number of all brass 5" Bang-O-Lure collectors that can say they have anywhere close to this many colors in their respective collection's!

Honey B Collection
You won't find a sweeter collection of Bagley Honey B's than the group Ron has put together. I would be happy to have a fifth of the all brass Honey B's in this Bagley hive!

All Brass PAR Collection
This is one of the most complete all brass PAR (Parrot) collections I've ever seen! There looks to be only a regular bib BB2 and BB3 missing from this set.
