Are they the Reidy's Coca Cola lures? There are 2 different designs in the medium and deep divers in those. Put in a search using the search function quoting "Coca Cola" to see the differences. ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

I collect any promo lures- timber, plastic, metal, even have a couple of soft plastic promo. But I don't believe they are worth the big price some people put on them ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

Yer I`m a bit the same as Martin Any promotional stuff is good, some would seem to be in abundance, others I think I shall now Nick name Martin Lures mostly made of plastic but as rare as Martins Hair Cuts And He deliberately seems to have all the rare ones  I do not have as greater access to the older and historic timber hand made lures and even if I did do not have the ability to identify them However I can read a bit of writing on the side of a lure Guess I`m sort of a second class collector but enjoy it Kimo |

All good guys I have a bit of a lot of stuff nothing that most would call great but enough for me to enjoy dabbling with I was also just having a friendly stir with martin ,no offence intended But yer I got heeps of plastic, will never use a fraction of it, I think I just like the pretty colors Kimo |

No offence interpreted and I still don't like plastics to use. At the barra comp, my mate Bill had a gold bomber broken by a 66 cm barra, luckily the lure broke after he lifted it out of the water. But I do like promotional plastics ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

I haven’t seen a Woodstock lure before Billy if you would like to pop up a photo( Also the Coca Cola lures, are they the Reidy’s or The Mann’s? I have a few Mann’s rattling spot type lures in yellow, black, white and red Coke promos and keen to see other colours. I believe they also bought them out in the stretch 10+ as well. ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

Timmo, keep one of those IRon Jack lures for me as I see you have a double and I’ll see what Engle doubles I may have. Either way I will make it worthwhile. Do you also have a spare Stones minnow as well? ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

The only double I could find is this used one.    All four lures for one of those Iron Jacks? The Reidy's is a B52 CRC 2011 lure. Oh, the lure shop in Cooktown has the football lures for $15. Find them online and contact them. ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

Hi I have put a few of these together with my Promo Lures Nothing special, as far as I can find out they where made by Basser Millard about 15 years ago. Dose not appear to have writing on the bib to indicate its swim depth. Its printed on the top of the lure, some where made as special orders with promotional promos printed on the belly   Cheers Kimo |

Cool lure Kimo, first of these that I have seen although I have known about them. That 10+ on the back would have to be in feet as it wouldn't reach 10+ metres. ------------- Martin- you don't havta be pretty to fish |

Confused: Another promo arrived today Daimler Packaging is marked Smith Ltd, Presumed the Car Dealership. The side of the box says Salt Water Minnow, Made in Japan SARUNA Smith Ltd The bottom of the Lure Clearly says Reidy`s Lures Was the Box made in Japan, the car or the lure, and what the hell is SARUNA Possibly a Model of Daimler marketed in Japan, if so how well are Reidy`s going making lures for Japan     Another Iron Jack came a coupla weeks ago  Cheers Kimo |

Smiths Saruna is a different lure. It's just not the original box of the lure is a reidys. |

Thanks Martin I did remember that something had been said prior about the bubbles Not sure if I am pleased to be reminded or not means I got a few more to look for and if there were only 500 made there would not be to many made it down here. Dose anyone know if that was 500 of each or 500 total. I do have a few spares so I will have to check the bubbles on them, Cheers Kimo |
