Biz Beat: Fort Erie man tackling the lure industry
Johnston keeps a picture of one of his regular customers from St. Clair pinned to the wall behind his work bench for what he said acts as inspiration.
I want to have that claim to fame that every lure with my name on it I've started and finished, he said. My dream isn't necessarily about money, it's more of a legacy. I want to leave a legacy I made good, good lures.

It's also about not exceeding what he's able to produce. Johnston is adamant he's not about to let his business outgrow him and likes the idea of getting to know his customers and what they're looking for.

good for him. Nice read thanks for sharing.
