Below is an email I got from a friend in San Antonio. Really impressive that this 10-year old has started his own company. I don't really care if the lures work or not (I may never throw one), but will probably buy a couple to support this little guy.
Tight lines.

One on my co-workers has a 10 year old son who has gone into a business that we all dream of, SALTWATER FISHING!!!!
His name is Michael Wood and he's been raised to hunt and fish like most of us were. Michael came up with the idea to start a fishing lure company geared towards saltwater anglers. His company, Golden Lure, produces spinner baits that are designed for inshore anglers looking for redfish and trout. Michael bought all the components and experimented with colors to come up with a pretty solid design. He assembles each one himself.
While I cannot attest to how well these actually work, I can tell you that I don't have anything like them in my tackle box so I figure they are worth a try.
Most kids learn about Capitalism by operating a lemonade stand, but it usually stops there until we earn our first real paycheck. Michael is making a real attempt to start a business and is using is own money to fund this.
Think about how much you are going to spend on fishing gear this year. Here is the link to his website and you can also see his ad in this month's Saltwater Fishing Magazine. (BTW, the magazine was so impressed with this story that they gave him the ad for free.)
Go to the website, order a few, and then pass along this email to other anglers that you know.
Tight lines.
