Hey all I have come across a few lures and worked out what most of them all were but this one I haven't confirmed and was hoping for some help. I was pretty sure it's a Barra King likely to be a HH from the nose shape but I have not found any others that appear to have this yellow strip on each side. The others I have seen that are similar usually look to just have the belly painted.

Cheers
Strawny

Hi strawny mate it does look like a hall Barraking I don’t know about the colour but I have some of the later Ron Dau Barrakings and they have a different finish altogether kind of like a dimple finish cheers Ed

Cheers guys. Good feedback. Would be nice to find out some more about this colour scheme being as it is compared to a lot of others but I'm sure that will be harder info to gather

A nice early HH BarraKing from around 1981/2, you can tell by the extra gill stripe. This is right after his earlier round bibbed models, looks to be mint never swum. Henry often did custom colours on request.

Cheers for that info seaweed. Yeah it is in mint condition. Has a couple of small defects but quite minor. A nice start to a lure collection.
