I met Doug Soden today and bought these poppers off him. Doug and his wife lived up FNQ and Cape York and still had / has family in Bamaga. 

Doug and his wife spoke very fondly of Eric Moller and family and of Vic McCrystal. Barry Cross, do you know Doug? He remembers your name.

While Doug mainly made poppers. He did make 6 lures, a copy of a Peter Munt mackeral lure - http://www.lurelovers.com/forum/mackerel-size-munts_topic21649.html

The only one of these lures he had left was totally mauled and mangled.

All of the eyes and pupils are of uniformed size but the colours may vary.
Many of these have a build up of glue around the hook hangers and tow points.
All of these poppers weights in the tail have the hole of the sinker visible, but I'll be comparing the eyes and the hook hangers of some of my UIDs to see if they are the same.


Martin-

you don't havta be pretty to fish
