The Original Erie Dearie Lure

5/8oz. Red & White Original Erie Dearie


Back in 1962, using his charter boat on Lake Erie as a research lab, Captain Dan Galbincea knew he could improve the standard of walleye fishing. By designing the first "weight forward" spinner, Captain Dan most definitely made an improvement with his invention of the Original Erie Dearie Lure.

After countless hours of testing, perfecting and promoting his new lure, word spread to the media and national fishing magazines. Captain Dan had no trouble convincing anglers of the Erie Dearie's potential. Captain Dan developed the Erie Dearie lure with great dedication to the craft of fishing. In keeping with his tradition and standards, all new Erie Dearie products are field tested by our Pro Staff and Erie Dearie Fishing Team.

While there are now dozens of imitations on the market, they do not come close to the real thing for effectiveness. So, if it does not say Erie Dearie on the blade, why settle for anything less, when you can fish with the best? Fish know the difference and you will too, when you stock your tackle box with the Original Erie Dearie lure.

A simple but incredibly effective lure which has been tested in lakes, streams and impoundments under the toughest fishing conditions. It is a proven winner!

Precious Metals

Captain Dan could not make his "Original" Erie Dearie better so he made it different to cover different conditions.

The "All Gold" model of the "Original" Erie Dearie is plated from body to hook in bright, shiny 22K gold to attract Game fish in murky waters by reflecting light in a way that painted lures can not.

The "All Silver" Erie Dearie was designed to attract walleyes by reflecting light in clear waters according to Captain Dan.

In 1986, Captain Dan with an all-female team, which included two of his daughters, Janice Thomas and Dianne Trevena won the LECBA Pro/Am Tournament in Port Clinton using the all Gold Erie Dearie. The team caught a 10 walleye limit on Saturday measuring 247.9 inches and on Sunday, they returned with 223.1 inches to claim first place.

WOW! What a Team


After that win the All Gold Erie Dearie took off in sales. If you happen to be in Port Clinton, ask some of the Old Salts about one rock pile that's been dubbed "The Gold Mine" because of all the gold lures left on the structure.

Hint: When using an Erie Dearie for salt water fishing, remember to rinse the lure off with fresh water and dry before placing back in your tackle box.


Captain Dan's Fish Fry


This is a secret recipe of the Galbincea family.

To start, you need 2 to 3 pounds of walleye or your favorite fish filets, 3 bowls and a deep fryer or a nice deep skillet, using Crisco shortening (we recommend) or whatever oil you have on hand. Bring oil to a boil or 350 degrees.
Take two eggs and beat, add a cup of milk and mix together. Set aside
Take a cup of flour and add
1 tsp. of Old Bay seasoning (optional)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Mix together and set aside.
Take one roll of Ritz crackers and place in a Ziploc bag; using a rolling pin, carefully crumble crackers while in the bag till fine.
Open bag and place in a separate bowl.
Take fish fillet and dip in milk and egg mixture, then dip in flour, then back into milk and egg mixture. Then roll fish in finely crumbled Ritz crackers till coated evenly, set aside till all the filets are coated.
Place coated fish in heated oil and fry them to a golden brown color approximately 3 to 4 minutes a side. Cut open one after cooking; if meat is white it is done if it is still a slightly clear color, cook for an additional minute and adjust your cooking time accordingly.

Another great coating is to use crushed corn flakes in place of the Ritz crackers.
Enjoy
