Acording to Nick Karas in Striped Bass Fishing, Quote" It's difficult to determine just when the first artificial lures were introduced to salt water. Though "flies" made of cloth and feathers had been used to lure trout and grayling to the hook in acient Salonika and later,even before the Romans came to Britian to catch salmon,ther application to salt water and other species of fish was extremely tardy.Actually,the general use of plugs,spoons,and other lures in salt water,or even fresh water,had to wait for the development of rods,lines and especially reels."
Hope this is useful and will post more when i get some more info.
Hop in if you have anything else to add.
