John, That was 2 years after they started making them in poly foam, the history of Downunder/Predatek is here...
http://www.predatek.com/ps1.htm
One of the best histories provided by any Aussie luremakers.

Would love to see the corresponding 60mm colors and the Min Mins if anyone can find them in a catalog.There must of been many that were not to catalog color.

Dingo
If you go back about half a dozen topics , you will find "My Downunders"
There  are still a few missing (let me know if you have them)
They are all in order, 2 sets of Min Mins, 60mm, 80mm.

Found another Harbord tackle catalogue booklet 1992 with some different colours on the MIN Min and Boomerang 60mm
The 20 colour pattern shown at base of  the ad does not appear to apply to the other two lures in their range
They were also different in the 1991 ad.

These were great lures, the min mins on bass, the 60mm boomers on bass and yellas, the larger on yellas and cod. Had a tonne of them until my car was stolenCry back in the ninties.

i brought some when they were wood ,didn't work ,so i added some lead under the bib
then when they came out in plastic , most wouldn't swim, there was a big promo by some rob smith BS
i brought copies, and made a few myself and had to use lead under the bib to get them to swim
todays boomerangs work better then most other lures , as fish catchers and don't have the sales because of past exacerbation of fish catching ability.once bittern twice shy
