The MrWiffelure® Story

A few decades ago in Virginia, a fishermen named Dick Smaling experimented with different types of lures trying to attract his favorite catch of weakfish also known as the gray or spotted sea trout. Mr. Smaling designed the original Mr Wiffle believing that the perforated holes in the lure’s tail attracted fish.

RootBeer-Glitter-Gold-Chartreuse-TailThe tail’s shape and design made the lure quite effortless to use because it makes noises that fish can hear & has an action they like even when just resting in the water with the smallest amount of movement either from current or angler cranking speed.

Mr. Smaling sold his Mr Wiffle’s at local bait and tackle shops in Virginia Beach, but the marketing of Mr Wiffle did not expand beyond the local area.

Frustrated that Mr Wiffle was not being sold to bigger markets knowing this lure worked so well and caught so many fish. Mr. Smaling wanted out of the fishing lure business. Mr. Smaling’s  wonderful lure would not be forever lost, though.

A gentleman named Ted Sheridan who was looking at baits in his local tackle store happened to come across the Mr Wiffle lures. Liking the lure and its unique design he contacted Mr. Smaling and discussed marketing prospects with him.

bait-tackleSheridan used his marketing expertise to get the Mr Wiffle’s on the shelves of various independent tackle shops and in as some major box stores such as Wal-Mart, Sears and K-Mart.

Mr Wiffle’s sales increased greatly and it was highlighted in fishing magazines, newspapers and on numerous outdoor TV shows. Mr Wiffle became an early plastic jig lure pioneer & a featured star, just as Mr. Smaling had always hoped.

The stardom of Mr Wiffle was not long lived though because of yet another hurdle it had to endure. Mr. Sheridan became ill and his parent company, Tidewater Lures Inc., had to halt production of Mr Wiffle fishing lures.

The availability of Mr Wiffle dwindled and became limited to those already in stock. In 2011, Captain Skip Strong was fishing with friends in Chokoloskee, Florida’s 10,000 islands when he inquired if they had a favorite lure they preferred to use.

With much admiration, his friends showed him the Mr Wiffle’s telling him that they were hard to find and probably no longer available. Intrigued by the lures design like Ted Sheridan before him, Captain Skip searched for Mr Wiffle fishing lures on the internet.

Big-Trout-Chokoloskee-BayCaptain Skip found during his search that Mr. Sheridan was actually selling the production molds used to produce Mr Wiffle lures. He decided to bring Mr Wiffle’s back to life. He bought the molds and all rights to the Mr Wiffle fishing lures from Mr. Sheridan and Mr Wiffle was reborn again.

Due to Mr Wiffle’s previous trademark expiring and an impending opposition to using the original Mr Wiffle name it was decided to rename the Mr Wiffle fishing lure to the new name of MrWiffelure®.

Now MrWiffelure® is swimming happily catching many fish, from the Chokoloskee Islands to the northern headwaters of Everglades National Park’s 10,000 islands. MrWiffelure® remains the same with a different name, but has a brand new outlook and is double scented. MrWiffelure® is still catching fish effortlessly, and his mission is being accomplished. MrWiffelure will soon be swimming into the tackle stores near you .
