Rum River bait shop was in Anoka, no longer, They use to mark the prices similar to the one you pictured.  

I'm having one of my "blast from the past" moments.    Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's an old jig! I bet you bought that at the Rum River Bait Shop. You either use to live in Minnesota or you collect old tackle..........maybe both.  

The 1/16 and 1/8 oz Muddler jig tipped with a crawler is deadly on sunfish.  They use to make a pale yellow colored variety that was my go to jig.  I'm going to see if the o'l man has any left.
