Wm. Croft & Sons started out in Toronto, Canada as Wm. Croft & Co. in 1855. They started out making needles, hooks and fishing tackle. Croft later became a large wholesale store that sold a very wide range of products including fishing tackle. The business names and dates of operation for each are shown below.

In the early 1900's, Croft manufactured and sold Star and Lowe brand metal lures. Later, they also became the sole distributor of Heddon fishing tackle in Canada.
