I was wondering if anyone could help me tracking down a couple of these. It has killalure on the bib and 85mm. I believe its a pack rat 85mm hot pink? but i cannot find them anywhere to buy. This one is my fave trolling lure but starting to look a bit haggered and want to replace. I have some of the smaller 45mm ones but they are not the same. Would even consider buying some used ones. thanks in advance

I'm sure there were a few in my local K-mart before xmas.
I'll have a look again next time I go through. Willing to look at other colours too? |

I'm 99% certain the pack rat isn't made anymore. I've got small ones laying around mate but not the bigger size. They pop up on eBay from time to time though

I had a look on my tackle shelf.
I've got one PakRat 65mm in "Pink Purple" colour. In pack - very yellow aged looking blister pack. It's a bit unusual for me to have just one mint one. Usually they only live in pack if I have a couple in my fishing box already. I must have used/lost/given away some others at some point. As I said, I'll have a look through a couple of kmarts I was sure had them. Though they may have all been 65s? |

I have a black and orange pack rat in the large 85mm size, I can be trolling it beside the pink and not get a strike yet the pink catches big fish in all the local dams. I have heaps of the 45mm and 65mm in various colours just not the 85mm

I had a look through the one Kmart which I'm sure is where I bought my remaining one (and more that have gone walkies) last year and got nada.
I did notice their fishing section on the whole is smaller, and the "brand name" gear has all but disappeared (except for good ranges of squidgies and gulp). Even the Halco metals were in short supply! So might have missed the boat on it. There is a couple of other stores I am certain I saw old killa stock in while we were shopping before Christmas, but I have no idea when I'll get to those. |

Hi, I have 4 Killalure pak rats in 85 mm . Golden Streak(pink and gold), gold and black, black and white and our favourite hot pink.
I also have 2 in 45mm and 2 in 65mm lengths but no hot pink. Also have made some wooden copies that I made when I could not purchase the originals. PM if you are interested. |

85mm body, 115 overall, unused, perfect condition no package. i have others, 65mm/85mm, some used some not, different colours. don't know what it's worth. they would be a lure for fishing wouldn't they, or collecting. you tell me what you want to pay for it.....mick

I have been using it for trolling over the years, my grandfather gave it to me years ago before he passed and then I stupidly lost it one day on a snag and been forever trying to replace
