D.H. LURES
OAHU, HAWAII — ACTIVE 1990s – 2000s
D.H. Lures were made by Danford Hong, who built lures through the 1990s and 2000s while working at POP Fishing & Marine. His lures were a favorite among local fishermen — a real working-fisherman's reputation. Hong has since moved to the mainland and stopped making lures, which makes his Hawaiian-made pieces a closed, finite body of work.
