Excellent Matt.

2 questions.

1) What makes something a '4" Tiger'. Is it open acknowledgement from makers that they 'were inspired' or just something that looks it to your eye?

2) Has anyone indicated they are unhappy with their position on the board?

Hi Ducks, 

They are all roughly 4" long, and have a high side profile, thin top profile. Unlike a minnow shape or cod lure shape. They also have a shallow bib. 

There are a few ring-ins there. Like the Cut throat, and knolls, which are a bit different. Some are also a bit shorter or longer than the 4 - 4.5 Inch that is the NQ standard. But they are the closest I have found from the makers so far.  I still looking to find the perfect lures to fit the collection. 

Note - there are lots of makers that never made a 4" tiger shape lure, so are not in the collection, makers like Tinaroo, lucinda, come to mind quickly, but there are lots more.

A work in progress, like all collections. 

As for position on the board, yeah I hope I haven't upset anyone there. Roughly the first three full rows are who I consider to be the production makers of the era. After that it is all over the place. 

Cheers, 

Matt

Well done Matt, it's really come along since the 2015 Expo. I'll have a look to see if I can help upgrade any to the Tiger yellow/black theme. I think I have a Zangrande that fits the bill, also I have many unknowns as you do.
Don't know if Jeff Reid made a timber Tiger style, but good luck in your search.
Regards, Tony.

Thanks Tony, 

I haven't been chasing them too hard lately, a bit busy making Barambah Lures. 

I am pretty right for the Zandgrande thanks. I would love to swap out my Barra Kings though, both Hall and Dau if you ever come across doubles in the shallow 4" in yellow black.

I am pretty sure Reidy made a tiger, I have seen a couple on the forum, but rarer than rocking horse sh*t. 

Cheers, 

Matt

Fantastic Collection. Matt the lees is it a later version? I have this one that has a different colour eye from the early to mid 90's.

Lyonel, The "Barra Trap" I supplied to Matt is a earlier one to yours, Note the White Eyes. Cheers Richard.

Fantastic collection Matt and wonderful insight into part of northern oz lure making history. Would love a quality photo I could blow up and print to read and display. Just a thought.
Cheers

Addicted to lures ................and fishing of course !!
