Recently I came across an article relating to some "Hot Rod Collector Sets" that had been released by Steve Kovac of Custom Crafted Lures. This prompted me to check out if there might be any other Kovac collectables out there that I should be on the lookout for. What I discovered is documented below and hopefully it may be of some interest to other collectors as well.

Steve Kovac is just one of a large cluster of talented lure makers from the Wagga region of NSW. Over the years Steve and his marketing manager Rod Cockburn have released several series of limited edition lures specifically intended for the collector market.



CUSTOM CRAFTED PRESENTATION PACKS
Way back in 1991 some Presentation Packs were released. These crates were filled with four moulded lures of your choice.






THE ORIGINALS
Then in 2017 "The Originals" limited edition box sets were released. These sets consisted of five timber lures and each set was painted using a different colour corresponding to one of the initial range of 20 colours that Steve had used for his lures.






RIVERBED COLLECTION
2018 saw the launch of the Riverbed Collection. For this collection three of Steve's most popular lure models were selected and painted using six exclusive Riverbed colour patterns. The first three lures of this series were released in October 2018, with the remaining three being released a year later in October 2019. The 2018 lures were individually packaged and sold for $49.99. While the 2019 lures came in specially designed wooden presentation cases and sold for $69.99.














HOT ROD BOX SETS
Now in October 2020 the latest offering is 30 limited edition box sets priced at $220. Each set contains three timber Hot Rod lures and there is a choice of five colours to select from: Wild Chartreuse, Hotter than Pink, Fireball Orange, Mean green and Stoplight Red.







Regards,
Col
