HILLBILLY TACKLE WILL RELOCATE IN CARBONDALE INDUSTRIAL PARK

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Hillbilly Tackle Co., a fishing lure manufacturer, is moving from Marion to Carbondale's Bicentennial Industrial Park.

The company, which was founded two years ago with one product a lure retriever today manufactures baits it markets from coast to coast.

The firm has signed a 15-year lease with Carbondale Business Development Corp. for an 18,000-square-foot "shell" building that is expected to be ready in March.

Ron Rector, president of the firm, said the company now employs 18 people and projects $1 million in sales in 1992.
