[1] Lindy Tackle Company was founded in 1968 by Al and Ron Lindner and Nick Adams.
The first major expansion came in 1973 with Lindy's takeover by Ray-O-Vac and its merger with Mille Lacs Manufacturing to form Lindy-Little Joe.
This company was incorporated in 1978 to acquire the Fishing Tackle Division of Ray-O-Vac.
In late February 2008, Lindy was purchased by PRADCO Outdoor Brands, a subsidiary of EBSCO Industries.
Lindy Tackle Company produces its namesake "Lindy Rig", as well as slip-sinkers, jigs, blade-bait rigs, ice fishing spoons, and ice fishing jigs.
