That's how the City of Eufaula put it when they featured Rusty Hook in their Hooked on Local small business spotlight. When the Major League Fishing Toyota Series came to Lake Eufaula, Rusty Hook was there as a sponsor. The owners have spent 18 years in the bait and tackle business, and it shows in the tank water.
