Here's a cool Albert Hall mouse that turned up today. I am impressed by how realistic a mouse imitation it is, and very happy to add it to my collection of Aussie Timber Meeces
Apparently Albert hall and his hand made reels are mentioned in Bob Dunn's " Edit: I was looking in the wrong book Anyone have a copy of "Australian Fishing Reels" by Bob Dunn? |

Sorry Nicho
I reckon it's a cracker of a lure and was surprised it didn't get pushed a fair bit higher! I look forward to hopefully learning a little history about Albert Hall, and his involvement in fishing in Australia |

Made in very limited quantities,utilising a gear box from the end wing-flaps of a Catalina flying boat.

I'm not sure what the eyes are made from Nicho, I imagine Albert used some sort of pin.
Here's some info on Albert Hall from the"Australian Fishing Reels" supplement: |
