GRAPENTIN

Grapentin Specialties is a Michigan Fishing Tackle Manufacturer and Distributor specializing in Fishing Tackle, Fishing Equipment and Fishing Accessories... Grapentin Specialties was born in 1983 when Jeff Grapentin purchased his first sinker mold from Jack Biewer to make fishing sinkers for R&R's Sporting Goods, Pat Creger, his mother-in-law's store, in Almont, Michigan. His dad Wilfred L. Grapentin told him that his Uncle Harold had operated his own fishing tackle business "Halken Specialties" located in Roseville, Michigan. He and his wife, Del, manufactured fishing sinkers and leaders for area stores. When his Uncle Harold moved, he gave Jeff his fishing sinker molds.
