G'day All, just thought I'd update my collection pic, for any new members and old.
The 'Mainland's' full, going to have to make a large Tasmania . Been fortunate to have added another seven since the Newyear, mainly thanks to Cranky and his Cairns contacts.
Same deal as always, happy to hear from anyone who can help fill the gaps, either with trades/swaps or cash.
Regards, Seaweed.

I think you may have to make a bigger map Tony and use that display for a different maker.

John, I used to fish them in the 80's, good barra lures, they were given the name by George Voukolos, who told Henry they were surely the 'King' of 'Barra' Lures. Before that Henry had been making them as Hall Lures.
My collection was given a huge boost by a workmate when working for Boeing up here. He knew I was a keen lure collector, and one day he brought in about a dozen of the older models in virtually mint condition. This started me off, have traded most of my other collectable lures to reach today's number.
These are the ones my mate gifted me, he's got a lot to answer for . As you can see there are six of the early 81/82 models, including one rounded bib, these are scares. Regards, Seaweed.

For some reason the metal bibs seem to add extra bit of character to the lure over the plastic bibs
Just so I do not start WW 111 (my opinion only.) Regards John

Nice to hear from you Ian, are you going down to the Expo this year?
If so, bring all those BarraKings you have that I'm missing from this display .
Regards, Tony.
