THE WORM THAT STARTED IT ALL
THE PLOW JOCKEY

• Kellys pre-rigged anise scented Plow Jockey, Pier Boy Special and Reveille Jr. were started by Glenn B. Kelly as a hobby in the late 1950's and were used by family, friends and co-workers at International Harvester Company.
   
• Glenn started having a lot of requests because of the word of mouth advertisement the lures received, so he began to sell them.
  
   
• Kelly's Annealed Electro-Stat Crawlers was started in 1960 and began selling to tackle shops.
  
  
   
• The name was changed to Kelly's Annealed Baits and incorporated in 1978.
   
• Glenn B. Kelly passes away in 1979. His son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Grace, continue the business. It continues to grow, and eventually becomes a full-time endeavor.
  
     
   
• Kellys introduces the pre-rigged anise scented Striper, Firetails, Two-Hook Weedless and Weedless Bass Crawler worms.
   
• 1990 - Christie, Mike and Grace's daughter, joins the business.
   

• All of our anise scented pre-rigged worms are made and assembled in the USA.

  
  
  

• Every worm is HAND-SEWN to give each scented worm its own action and the best quality possible. Some lures use the phrase hand-tied to make you assume it is all hand made, but only the Famous Original Kelly's is hand-tied and HAND-SEWN so it is truly a hand made product. By doing this it creates a natural life like action in the lure that bass cannot resist and cannot be duplicated by copycats.
