Here's most of what's left of my timber Blitz Bagas.The majority of these were made ten to fifteen years ago by Murray Sugden.Whilst there is no denying they were modeled off the highly sucessful Flicks Cobras which in my opinion at the time was the best and certainly the original small bodied and ultra deep diver made for impoundment trolling.With a little encouragement from myself and others Murray started making these out of nessecity when Flick Robinson wouldn't or couldn't supply us with his Cobras.The profile was altered slimmed down and refined enough not to be a direct copy as well as adding a shallow&medium bibbed version in two sizes and as they say the rest is history.The Blitz Baga went on to be a highly sucessful lure in Sth East Qld impoundments in both leisurely outings and fishing comps.They have only been available in moulded now for many years which makes the timber version highly sort after by collectors. Mike.

G'day Mike. A nice selection you have there. Does Murray still run the show or was it sold on? I assume he does not make any lures now from timber? What area were these made?

No Alistair unfortunately Murray sold the rights to make them to "Smak" (Mathew Mott &Co) and i believe there is still a few years to run on the existing contract.Murray currently lives in Ipswich and who knows one day, years down the track may consider making a few again but i won't be holding my breath.

Tony, I gotta agree with you about Red & Black lures, I think we should all start targeting them for our collections...Boothy, your a trend setter!
As for the Blitz Baga's Tony, I only have about 40 so I'm keen to collect any extras that come my way.

Once I master navigating this site I hope to contribute a few posts of my own & for sure will take some pics of the Blitz Bagas & put them up. Being good friends with both Murray & Mike is the main reason I have a few in my collection, I was a member of Seqtar (fishing club) with them. |
