ORLANDO, Fla. — Twelve years ago, David MacDonald was a frustrated bass tournament angler. While competing in an event on Lake Erie, MacDonald was surprised by the lack of a goby-imitating lure in local tackle stores, after he'd noticed smallmouth bass spitting them up every time he reeled one in.
MacDonald's quest to fill the needs of anglers reached a milestone Thursday when Bento Baits received a "Best of Show" award at ICAST, the world's largest sportfishing trade show. Bento Baits, made by Lunkerhunt, the company MacDonald began in his basement, took top honors in the "soft lure" category.
