He had homes in both the Land-O-Lakes & St John's River area. In fact he named one of his early lures the St. John Wiggler.
The Depression of the twenties and some hard times that followed, he offered his company to the Heddon Co, in 1937 without success. He died a year later. James, Fred's brother, sold the company to H&I in 1938.
