These were lures made by Bruce Kilpatrick from Tolga.A Bio will follow.They are well made and Bruce had help from Henry Hall in the early days.Most of his lures Have BK near the tail of his lures.
They are well made and have a good paint job.Hope you like them.

Mine doesn't have BK, but it's black.
These look a bit like Catchems.

Great looking lures, the mice are unique and the double sprayed stripes are pretty distinctive.

you can see Henry's influence in those lures especially the top left hand one.its interesting to note
the initials B K for ''Bruce Killpatrick '', '' Barra King'' could share them also, i wounder if there's a bit
of a story there?

Interesting observation Chris - there is a story, however not connecting the two names in that way Wink

Henry Hall originally sold his lures as "Hall Lures". George Vokoulos from Darwin Outdoors is a friend of Henry's and used to sell Henry's Lures. After looking at Henry's lures George reckoned that they were "the King of Barra Lures - you should call them Barra Kings"

More info on Henry Hall here:

Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.
