    Posted: 15 Dec 2013 at 3:39pm
hi guys. first post so be gentle

im trying to remember the names of a couple of dk lures I used back in the 90s. Sold/gave away the majority of my lures when i moved overseas about 10 years back, and theres a couple im trying to track down

one was a dk lure that was a bomber long a/ reidys b52/ cutting edge axe type lure

the other was a slightly smaller one that was similar in shape to rapala x-rap only fatter. I had a purple one that I lost after years of service catching barra, jacks, tarpon and queenies up north, and then pike and walleye overseas... its somewhere in the North Sescatchewan river in Canada- id have gone in after it but the temp was about -5 at the time

any help would be awesome

DK models were Scalerazer, a deep diver like Manns stretch 20. Ferret a smaller shallow diver and the X Stream. From memory... Confused

and The Eyecon, which could be the one you say looks like a B52

And also the Snagmaster. I will try and find one to post up a picture.
Plastic is for storing lures, not making them.

Will check tomorrow as I have quite a few snagmasters and know for sure that I have a purple one that was great for barra just after dark in the weirs.  I won this and was not happy with the colour until it produced the only barras for some nights. I now use mighty mites.

I loved the mighty mites back in the day too

The purple one won my heart after a day on one of the run off creeks on the east alligator when it was the only lure that would catch anything...and a few years later when i used it to catch a pike in Canada in the shallows which had turned its nose up at a dozen other lures first....

funny how those kind of things stick in the mind

Top one here is a DK which I'd guesstimate at about 7-8cm.
No idea on model, and my only one.

Is the purple one shown in the top photo a deep diver?
 
Have not had a chance to find mine today.

As you can see the purple has had the most use.
