Im sure some have heard that Norman lures were bought by Pradco. Theres an announcement on the Norman site (www.four51.com)Theyll continue production in Greenwood, Ark. just a few miles from where my son lives. From the article I read it appears theyre going to make some positive changes to the Norman line. Specifically, the formula for the material used to make lures. Im a big fan of Norman lures. Just thought Id pass it along.http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2015 … for-green/

The way I read the Ark Online article is Norman moving to PRADCO but TNO buying the facility in Greenwood to build Luck E Strike. Norman going to be produced somewhere else by PRADCO. But at least Greenwood isnt losing jobs which is always good news.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

pradco is a great group of folks. I was told last year that a portion of pradco (which is in AR) would be moving to GA if I remember correctly but that there would still be jobs left here in the state. I believe they ar in Ft. Smith or ?

I read down in the order where they were expanding the selection of lures built in Arkansas and thought they were simply expanding to include Norman and the others. FromImread on the Norman website it appears theyre moving inventory and production to Alabama.

Probably going to do final packaging in Alabama. I think PRADCO gets some of their work done overseas also. But again, glad to see a presence stay in Greenwood96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

My son lives on Lake Jack Nolan in Greenwood. I asked him to stop by the factory and se if they have any on-site bargains available. Heres hoping.
