VERNON d'EON LOBSTER PLUGS LTD

Beginning in his back yard in 1975, Vernon d'Eon, a lobster fisherman, sold his fishing boat, gear and fishing rights to start on a venture, that was risky at best, to manufacture wooden lobster plugs (pegs). Vernon bought out his good friend Benoit Pottier, who had just re-tooled his factory, to make millions of wooden pegs. Over 75 million pegs made and sold in 1978 to markets form New York to Newfoundland.   ( Click here to read the lobster plug story. )

Pressure began in the fall of 1980 to have wooden pegs replaced with rubber bands. Writing was now on the wall - diversify into fishing supplies as soon as possible or be out of a job. In the summer of 1981, Vernon began selling long line ropes. From there the rest is history.

Currently we have 6 fishing supply stores, with 5 delivery trucks, over 40 employees and ship products worldwide.

Vernon d'Eon Lobster Plugs is a family owned business that prides itself on quality, innovative products and ideas and by far the best service a company can provide.
