Company History
Lindy Tackle Company was founded in 1968 by Al and Ron Lindner and Nick Adams. The Lindners left the company to form In-Fisherman in 1975.
The first major expansion came in 1973 with Lindy's takeover by Ray-O-Vac and its merger with Mille Lacs Manufacturing to form Lindy-Little Joe. This company was incorporated in 1978 to acquire the Fishing Tackle Division of Ray-O-Vac.
Thill Fishing Tackle, maker of balsa floats, was acquired in 1992, and further acquisitions followed with System Tackle Manufacturing in 1997, Old Bayside Fishing Tackle in 2003, and Muskie Greats Tackle (G/T) in 2004. The addition of System tackle and Old Bayside added extensive ice fishing and inshore saltwater products to Lindy's product line. In 2005, Beckman Nets and Drift Control drift socks were also added to the product line.
In late February 2008, Lindy was purchased by PRADCO Outdoor brands.
