In East Texas, Jester & Cotton Layfield constructed a lure during the depression which came to be known as the Layfield Lure. As with most good things, word spread and this bass lure found its way to devout anglers far and wide over the next 30 years.
The tradition of the Layfield Lure lives on today in a descendent of the Layfields; John "Bradshaw" Layfield has worked to revive the lure (see image below).
