Darren did a great job at making these, Sadly these are no longer made.

Here's a quote from the Active Angler website where you used to be able to purchase these online.

Lethal Lures is situated at The Caves, about 40km north of Rockhampton, Central Queensland. They produce tough, reliable hand crafted timber lures which are fitted with top quality components and individually tested and ready for use “out of the box”.

The owner / creator, Darren has been a keen fisherman since early childhood and has many fond memories of fishing trips with his father & grandfather. Running through Rockhampton is the Fitzroy River, a home of the mighty Barramundi. He still vividly remembers his first barra caught on lure ( off the river bank at the age of 12 ) and that kicked off an addiction that‘s lasted for another 30 years.

To catch a fish was great, but what a thrill it would be to catch one on a lure actually made by yourself. His first attempts at making lures were typical, hand carved from a block of pine with a pocket-knife and with varying success.

As the catch rate improved from better design & paintwork, he started making more for himself and then for family and friends.

After small beginnings at local markets, Darren has progressed to selling commercially through a local tackle store.


Here's a couple of Lethal Lures Barra slayers.





Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.
