Picked a few more Elliots yesterday and the one marked with ???? has some variations in thickness and taper.

The guy who I sourced them off said it was not an Elliot but came from a guy at Tinaroo who made them in a big gal iron tin side and said he used the Elliot to hand copy from. ALso said they trolled them in Tinaroo for big barra and this lure actually nailed a fish well over 15kg !!!!!!

My other Elliots all look soooo close but open to challenge ??????

Also see my other post re Elliot popper or ring'in again - same story !!!!

Mate, I think the only Elliot there is the green one, could be wrong, but never seen one with crossed eyes.

Don't say that Tony Confused I thought I had only one under a cloud

Maybe it was a 'tightening up' by the lure and crossing its eyes when a big Tinaroo barra lined it up.LOL

For what it's worth I think they are all Elliots, a close up of middle and tail wires on the sus lure would be good, I also think maybe more than one person has dotted the eyes, maybe friends or family ??? lures look done on copy lathe so easy for profiles to be different.

I have a couple with the same profile as the lure in question.
One has a sticker, the other doesn't, 
As you said Carl, a better pic of eyelets would help.
You would think a news paper man would know better.LOL

No gents - just bunged it in with the other elliots...

Can't do any more photos just yet as still in northern NSW enjoying the post Expo 14 weather.

Was on the list to take to Narooma and show and tell when I sit down with the man himself??

Watch this space....
