I also found this information online "The Do-All Bait Manufacturing Company of Miami, Florida was operated by Paul Takeshita in the 1950's. Born in 1901, he was sent to Japan at age 12... to live and study with his grandfather. Part of his education included learning martial arts and Takeshita learned from four of the existing tenth degree grandmasters in the world. According to Judo expert Jack Williams, who studied under Takeshita, it was under the emperor system that Paul lived for 12 years on. The emperor system played greatly in Paul’s education. His grandfather, who had been a feudal lord, had also been in charge of the samurai. The samurai lived by the code of martial arts. Samurai yet existed under the new emperor system and Paul’s grandfather was still in charge. Hence, the code of the samurai and martial arts was imparted to Sensei Takeshita.
Paul Takeshita returned to America in 1939. Like many other Japanese, he was incarcerated in an American concentration camp while the war was going on. He was released when the war was over and he ended up in Miami, Florida. He was a Yo-Dan, fourth degree Judo black belt, and taught at the Miami School of Judo.
Paul Takeshita started and operated the Do-All Bait Manufacturing Company in Miami during the 1950's. He invented and patented two fishing lures, one of which was manufactured by Do-All. The company also made another half dozen lures."On Oct-05-19 at 06:05:54 PDT, seller added the following information:I've added a few more pictures, including one that shows the length of the lure. Happy to answer any further questions.
