I still would like to know what John Ellis had to do with it ? I have not seen one in the flesh would like one but not at that price But I suppose you can place it next to a Newell Boxed Kadaitcha in collector value now ! And what does that value the timber Stumpy,s at ? Great lure and great for the collectible market

From what I have heard they are a very special,very rare lure.John Ellis only had a few made and presented them to friends and people who had helped him in the establishment and promotion of his business.
The one that I thought I had a chance of getting a few years ago came with a personal letter of appreciation from John and you would have thought that the seller of this lure could have been expected to have a similar letter although there was no mention of it in the listing. I know I don't always follow the populist view but I personally would value these WAY ahead of the special Kadaitchas which were purely made on a commercial profit basis. Cheers,Jim

Thanks Jim for that info, I never knew he had it made with a letter of appreciation for a very few close people. Its great we all collect different lures and for different reasons as it would be very boring if we all collected the same thing. But I have to lean on the side of a "Timber" Hand made Kadaitcha lure , from the hands of an Iconic legend in the Australian lure making history. I don't think my reference of the Kad next to the special stumpy was correct, sorry Jim i should of used something else. But an Australian made timber lure to a China made plastic lure was what I meant with out being rude. And you have given me the answer !! Thanks . Cheers Tony

I thought only a few when I put up my previous post but reading an early Tackle Rat column last night I see that Frank mentions 50 of this lure made and I would expect him to be right. Cheers Jim
