Anniversary sets

I've been real busy this year making anniversary sets to mark 40 years since I sold my first lure. They were basically copies of Nilsmaster lures in 3 sizes. 3", 4", and 5". I had a lure from 1975 returned to me so I could make templates from but had to use old photos for the smaller models. I've made them in sets of three in the four colours they were originally done in, green/yellow, brown/yellow, red/white, blue white. A short story/ lure history/ certificate has been included in each set.

Yeah, real close, hey Darren!!! This is the old one from 1975 I used as a guide.

Mick, I'll plod along all year making them. If anyone misses out, not to worry, I'm planning the next set for 2023 (50 yr sets).

Too late mate , already got my name on them  , just kiddin' . They are lovely these sets fella's but ya gotta be quick , I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time , maroon of course  .

Ian I would love a set if any come available.

Fysshe, recomended " I'd be better of with some Calliope's to through at rocks ". So I asked him to make a selection for me. ( I have fished with his lures before, my oldest brother " Tratty " has a huge selection that I have helped myself to in the past.) I have never owned any myself so I was excited to recieve these today!!

Congratulations on 40yrs of sawdust and paint fumes
