Gary Steven Gray

Gray History

Gary was a what I call your basic Floridian. Grew up in Florida and learned to love the land and his surrounding. Fishing and hunting just comes natural being raised in Florida. Gary was a Meat Inspector by trade but was self taught taxidermist. His dad’s favorite lures were made by Jim Pfeffer. When Gary was 15 he started making his first lures and over the years after Pfeffer passed away were often duplicated Jim’s work.

Here are just a few I have owned for some time now, and they seem to be somewhat hard to find in the field. His Packaging is very similar to Pfeffer as well and in envelopes like Pfeffer but with more graphics on them. Gray had printed them and each one had the lure name, His name and 3030 N. County Rd. 426 Geneva, Florida 32732 printed on them.

Much of the information on this page was obtained by utilizing the information provided by Doug Brace, Bill Stuart, and Russell Riddle in “Florida Lure Makers and Their Lures” (Currently out of print). The information we have provided is only a portion of the story.  If interested in purchasing this book, please reach out to other collectors in our forum to inquire about availability.
