Abstract
The Johnson Fish Hook was patented on August 2, 1931. This article documents the relationship between the Johnson Hook and the Kismet Casting Hook. The later lure was made by George F. Lowell (1872-1925) of Freeport, Maine. Lowell was a jeweler and the Kismet was apparently the only fishing lure he made and sold.
