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. gives you something to do between Boomer purchases |

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. |

Laurie - nice, very nice piece of history.
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. Laurie |

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 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. Laurie. |

Laurie 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.
