Laurie, I saw them come up, didn't bother as I have both models already, knew some one would have at them.
Nice little group with original quonset hut packages. Thumbs Up gives you something to do between Boomer purchases Big smile

Do you know what colours are missing in the Combats?
I know there is a brown trout (must talk to "The Duke")
Not sure about rainbow and rainbow trout.

Laurie - nice, very nice piece of history. ClapClapClap
 
You could go on the Halco website and contact them directly. I am sure someone there will know or have a back catalogue to check.
 
Good luck, I love them. Even though they are not timber they are great.
Painted sticks with hooks sure, but they are oh soooo nice!

i will have a look at the Harbord Tackle catalogues for the 90's and see what i can find.
They advertise regularly but as everybody is familiar with the lure  I have not posted previously. I am sure that there should be something there.

Laurie, not sure I remember a spotted dog in Combats, do remember a rainbow though, My fave was either the Fire Tiger or Brown Craw.

@brad
My fav's were fluro red and flura green.

@barry
They are not timber, but they are older than most of the timber in our collections.
My '91 model Harbourd catalogue dates them at least 20 years old.

@john
I found a 91 catalogue with 6 colours that are not in the 93 catalogue of yours.
There are four "new" colours in your 93 catalogue.

Ahh yes I see what I call Fire Tiger, Halco called Fluro Green. I dont see the Brown Craw in that lot, it was sort of like the grey metallic, but more brown with a red belly Ermm I think....

The number just keeps on growing.


I have doubles in some of these,
If you have colours that are not in my pic and are interested in a swap
for them or other lures with trout patterns, let me know.

Good luck with your collecting.

I may have found another  combat lure that is  not present in the previous catalogues recorded in this thread.
The colours a little hard to follow and compare.
