In the middle of painting new lures and colours. Getting ready for a fishing trip in N.S.W and a delivery of some new "Salty dog" lures for Trevally.
In a few months I will have a sample board of colours, I will also be doing custom powder paints (Limited Edition) for my new lures and for the 2018 Lure expo. Cheer's, Dave |

That one looks like it's tripped right out - feeding on too many bugs from the wrong field of crops?

G'day Martin, Just a little information about it, Obviously these colours wouldn't do much to help the crucifix frog camouflage against the blackish flood plains it lives on - quite the opposite, they're there to make the frog stand out. The crucifix frog is one of the only species of Australian frog to employ aposematism, which is the use of bright patterning to ward off predators. The crucifix frog lives most of its life in underground burrows two or three metres deep, and only comes out after bouts of heavy rain. At this point they'll go into a feeding and mating frenzy, reveling in the temporary pools formed by the downpour. Thick with bugs, worms, and mosquito larvae, these pools are like an incredibly rich and nutritious soup for the frogs. |

Hi Allan,There's no evidence that the crucifix frog is poisonous like other brightly coloured species, but it does ooze a milky, sticky 'frog glue' from glands in its skin when threatened. Cheers, Dave |

Just in the middle of doing some of these lures up, some will have metal bibs and the name of this lure is destructive. Also this colour will be in the colour range too.
Thanks, Mad Dog Dave |

G'day Graham, The Destructive lure dives 3 + meters with the Lexan polycarbonate bib and the one's with the longer metal bibs dives 4.5 + meters. They are 4 inches long (body only) with a bright orange belly. Cheers, Dave |
